This is the entry you posted:

tty02   "/usr/pkg/sbin/mgetty"          dialup on insecure

The third column is supposed to match a termcap entry, [See ttys(5)]
and "dialup" is no kind of termcap entry on my systems (1.4.3/1.5.2).
Neither is "insecure" documented as being valid (not-"secure" is the
default). Try the line I gave -- the switches simply fix the speed at
38400bps, and it tells mgetty to answer after one ring. Make sure the
other programs that share the line recognize uucp-style locking too
(pppd needs the "lock" option to do that).
