Take a look at   sudoers(5)   and   visudo(8)

I use sudo to mount my mass storage compliant devices with the 
following command as regular user:

for my mp3 player
[ajm at bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/mp3player

for my camera
[ajm at bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/kodak

for a memory card reader
[ajm at bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/card_reader

Just make sure you change the  ?  to an actual device number.
You do need to create the /mnt directories in your own home directory 
so that you can read and write to those devices as a regular user.

Also use sudo to un mount the device:

[ajm at bsd]$ sudo umount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1

NOTE: I did not change anything in the /etc/devfs.conf or am I using 
amd(8).
