Oops, not in -current either. I guess IDE stuff isn't really common on sparc...

Yes:
## PCMCIA IDE controllers
wdc* at pcmcia?
atabus* at ata?
wd* at atabus? drive ? flags 0x0000
Without that wd0 wouldn't attach at all.

I think so, it's definitely worth a try.
On sparc64 it looks like this:
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 0 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0a
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 1 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0b
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 2 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0c
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 3 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0d
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 4 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0e
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 5 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0f
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 6 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0g
brw-r----- 1 root operator 12, 7 Mar 20 11:55 /dev/wd0h
have fun
