There is some example code in:  /usr/src/sys/dev/bktr/bktr_os.c
for the 'bktr' driver which allows a PCI TV-tuner card with the
old 'Brooktree' chipset to function in FreeBSD environs.

It creates three devices attached to the same card:
  /dev/bktr
  /dev/tuner
  /dev/vbi

I hope this is applicable to what you are trying to do.
