Hmm. I've never used altq myself. But as nobody else replies...

The major device number is often different in other ports and you cannot use
a MAKEDEV from amd64 for amiga. So that isn't really a surprise.

I just checked the amiga/conf/majors.amiga file, but there is no altq device
defined at all.

Maybe you could try to add a line like

device-major    altq            char 64                 altq

in majors.amiga and recompile the kernel. Or "char 77" to match the i386
MAKEDEV.
