Yes. That's what you find in many forum-threads and i could also reproduce it. 
Most
of the forum discussions are from the time before udev, so the dev-entries where
made with "MAKEDEV js".
Of course this entries are lost after reboot now.

When i did create them manually they didn't work even.

Is it possible that drivers exist and can be loaded but are "disabled"?

In squeeze the drivers are existent and can be loaded as you can see:

r...@pc10:/# modprobe gameport
r...@pc10:/# modprobe joydev
r...@pc10:/# modprobe analog
r...@pc10:/# lsmod | grep gameport
gameport               17040  3 analog,snd_ens1371,snd_cs46xx
r...@pc10:/# jstest /dev/js0
jstest: No such file or directory

jstest is a joystick test program. You can see if the interface is working, 
even if
there is no joystick connected.

Regards
Karsten
