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
