It would be helpful if you could specify what FreeBSD version you're
using.

Assuming 8.2 or RELENG_8: no promises, but puc(4) is probably what
you're looking for.  I would try adding:

puc_load="yes"

To your /boot/loader.conf, then see what happens after booting.  uart(4)
may auto-attach to that.  Again, no promises.
