Yes.  That's what nomatch events are for.  The default devd.conf
momatch entries in it.

: load ukbd.ko when USB keyboard plugged (same for other USB ums, ulpt,
: umass, etc)

usb doesn't support reprobing correctly yet, so this isn't possible
until it does.

: load atacard.ko, when ATA disk inserted into PCMCI slot

nomatch 10 {
	match "bus" "pccard[0-9]+];
	match "function_type" "4";
	action "kldload atacard";
}

: load if_wi.ko when WLan card inserted into PCMCI slot 

This device supports a large number of devices, so the list is rather
long...
