afaik gphoto2 uses /dev/usbN device nodes:
$ ls -al /dev/usb*
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 0 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb0
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 1 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb1
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 2 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb2
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 3 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb3
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 4 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb4
crw-rw---- 1 root wheel 61, 5 Oct 28 2007 /dev/usb5
