Well, it is actually there, but commented out:
marck at woozle:/lh/src.current/sys> grep 'device.*puc' */conf/GENERIC
amd64/conf/GENERIC:#device puc
i386/conf/GENERIC:#device puc
ia64/conf/GENERIC:device puc # Multi I/O cards and multi-channel UARTs
sparc64/conf/GENERIC:device puc # Multi-channel uarts
sun4v/conf/GENERIC:#device puc # Multi-channel uarts
It seems it's in that state from the very beginning (cvs ann/log survery on
sys/i386/conf/GENERIC):

Mention the puc(4) glue driver in a commented-out example so the user
of "dumb" PCI-based serial/parallel boards get a hint how to enable
them.
I wasn't sure about the ia64, pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 archs whether
they'd support puc(4) or not.
