Are you sure this has a Wacom compatible tablet?

Check if /dev/ttyd0 really exists. Also check dmesg output to see if the
device is recognized.

The input-wacom driver comes with a couple of programs (see
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/input-wacom/pkg-plist) that might be helpfull as
well, e.g. xsetwacom.
