Sorry I missed the begginning of this thread, but you don't need to do
anything like that, as mgetty recognizes uucp style lockfiles.  (You
should have "lock" in pppd options, if you're sharing a line with a
running "pppd".) Just put "mgetty" in /etc/ttys. Example:

tty02   "/usr/pkg/sbin/mgetty -s 38400 -n 1"    unknown on
