Not necessarily. If the legacy /dev entries got nuked, you'll need to mount your filesystems manually with the devfs names.
Example:
mount -t reiserfs /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /usr
and such. Unfortunately, dev entries aren't protected by portage, so if
devfsd isn't setup to create those entries persistently, you're not
going to be able to use them after they're deleted.
