Great!  Thank you.  That's what I needed! -- uvisor.ko apparently uses ucom.ko 
and the ucom0 device I looked for is (temporarily) created.  However, after 
pressing the sync button the pilot can then be accessed through 
the /dev/ttyU0 device. 

Since I didn't find this information at kpilot.org or pilot-link.org or 
whatsoever (although they oftern refer to FreeBSD) and somebody else might 
have the same problem ... here is what I did:

1. Load the proper kernel modules.  Among others this is uvisor.ko.

	$ kldload /boot/kernel/uvisor.ko

   (In addition, I configured this in /boot/loader.conf)

2. Configure /etc/usbd.conf in such a way, that the permissions of the proper 
device will be set when it appears after pressing the HotSync button.  This 
is /dev/ttyU0 in my case.

I just synced as a normal user and it works.
