Have you tried adding it in the file
/usr/src/sys/conf/files
Something like
dev/puc/puc.c optional puc

 I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE on an Alpha.  I just installed an
NM9835
 2-port PCI serial card.  I added 'device puc' to my kernel
configuration
 file, as suggested in 'man puc', but when I run config I get this
error:

 Warning: device puc is unknown

 What am I doing wrong?

I just had to do this, for the same reason, but had to edit the puc 
source code first, then re-make my kernel. The edit was specific to the 
vendor of the serial card, so you'll have to look up your card. It 
worked fine.

It was on an i386, though. No idea whether that will make a difference.

So PCI serial ports aren't supported on Alpha?  Is there any way at all I
can get another serial port on my Alpha system?
