 In FreeBSD 5.X and beyond the /dev entries are created automatically
 on bootup.  If a device isn't being created check your dmesg that the
 device is found and properly identified.  Some devices may need a
 kernel change or kernel module loaded.

In specific, the tap(4) devices are not supported in a default
kernel.  The command kldload if_tap will load the kernel support 
for this functionality.
