Theres always...
# cd /dev
# rm -f pps0
# ./MAKEDEV pps0
You might need to recreate this after every reboot, since 5.x wipes clean
/dev everytime it comes up.
At boot, I can see:

No matter what mode I put the parallel port in via the BIOS config, I
get roughly the same result ... The pps interface does not come up
due to there being no IRQ associated with ppc0 ?
The BIOS definately says that the parallel port is at IRQ 7 and nothing
else uses IRQ 7 ... Tried it at IRQ 5 shared with the USB controller
and it made no difference.
Look at the interrupt count with vmstat -i and see if irq7 bumps.
I've run the PPS out of a Spectracom netclock/2 with the parallel
port and it works well, though I was using an earlier 5.x.
