No, you don't need to recompile pcscd package. It's the driver that needs some serial port to open to talk to chipdrive. --enable-devfs will just tell the driver to use /dev/tts/0 (/dev/usb/tts/0) instead of /dev/ttyS0 (/dev/ttyUSB0) when pcscd loads it.
No mention that /dev/tts/0 must me Ok for this to work. I mean, no other processes using the port, device properly configured at kernel level, io port, interrupt line, bios, etc... just like if you where pluging a modem or some other thing to it. I think you must do something to have devfs backguard compatible with old device names, so that the link is created there when you restart your machine. I'm not sure since I'm not using devfs myself. I think there is a HOWTO somewhere.
