It works the same as its SysV/linux counterpart : You obtain a fd to the master pseudo terminal by opening /dev/ptmx, which craetes a node for the master as /dev/pty[num] and a node for the slave as /dev/pts/[num]. > It should play nicely with the existing BSD ptys. > By default, the system will use the BSD ptys, one can set the sysctl > kern.pts.enable to 1 to make it use the new pts system. > The max number of pty that can be allocated on a system can be changed with the > sysctl kern.pts.max.

I know there are some ports that can make use of this API. I'm a bit behind in my email, so if you've already done this, sorry for the noise.
