One other idea we did on sunos, but I don't know if it'll work on netbsd, 
is to have the keyboard/mouse driver do an exclusive open on the serial 
device that way everyone else who tries to open it will get an EBUSY.  
That should work with all the different serial drivers without having to 
modify each one's open routine.
