It's not altogether clear what you are trying to do.
If you want to run a login session on the port then look at 
Ryan Merrick's response.

If you want to use it as a simple port say /dev/cuaa0 then
stty only works after the port is allocated. Try setting instead
/dev/cuaia0 using stty. This sets the defaults for the /dev/cuaa0
port which take effect when the port is opened unless over ridden 
by the software attached to the port.

I try using stty to set the port speed, but it doesn't take.  I also
don't see how to set the stop bits.
Any help is appreciated.

Look and edit the #/etc/gettytab . stty is more for altering the port 
while running and seeing all the configurations of the serial port. 
Another testing command for the terminal is #/usr/bin/tset .

Using stty to change the stopbits would be:
#stty -f /dev/ cstopb . for two stopbits.
#stty -f /dev/ -cstopb . for one stopbits.
