The answer's far simpler. TIOCM* support disapeared with one of the serial
port upgrades. Quoting /sys/dev/isa/com.c sup'd last week,

comioctl(dev, cmd, data, flag, p)
        dev_t dev;
        u_long cmd;
        caddr_t data;
        int flag;
        struct proc *p;
{

....

        switch (cmd) {

....

        case TIOCMSET:
        case TIOCMBIS:
        case TIOCMBIC:
        case TIOCMGET:
        default:
                return (ENOTTY);
        }
....
	return (0);
}

They used to be there, as I used them as a model for adding such support
to the z8530tty driver.

Sounds like a good candidate for a PR.

Take care,
