That's keyboard and mouse, not your (external) serial port.
I'd expect those to show up like this:

sab0 at ebus0 addr 400000-40007f ipl 43: rev 3.2
sabtty0 at sab0 port 0: console i/o
sabtty1 at sab0 port 1

(Hmm, for some reason GENERIC has this driver commented out in 1.6*, you
probably need to enable it in the kernel config file and build a new kernel)

The coresponding device would be /dev/ttyh*.
