yup, just copy the tty00 line and change it to ttyU0 (whuch is the device 
node in /dev that coresponds to ucom0).

if ttyU0 dosn't exist (and i'm guessing it does if you've got minicom and 
cu running) then you can create it with:

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV ttyU0

after you've changed /etc/ttys you restart init with:

# kill -HUP 1

then when you connect to the machine with the modem you should get the 
NetBSD banner and login prompt (If the modem on the server side auto 
answers etc.)

P.S. you might want to look at comms/mgetty+sendfax in pkgsrc which 
handles this kind of thing as well
