If you only need to sync the device when the hotsync button is pressed,
there is an example for Visor in usbd.conf; mine has


device "Handspring Visor"
        devname "ucom0"
        vendor  0x082d
        product 0x0100
        release 0x0100
        attach "/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/chown vladimir /dev/ttyU0; /usr/bin/su - vladimir -c /usr/X11R6/bin/jpilot-sync'"
