Thanks for the pointer. Indeed, I had in /etc/ttys the following line:
,----[ /etc/ttys ]
| cuaa2 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty"        unknown on insecure
`----

I commented it out, but the messages from init persist:
,----[ /var/log/messages ]
| Apr  1 12:25:54 soup init: can't exec getty '/usr/local/sbin/mgetty' \
|                         for port /dev/cuaa2: No such file or directory
| Apr  1 12:27:54 soup last message repeated 4 times
| Apr  1 12:37:55 soup last message repeated 20 times
`----

Do I need to restart something? Don't tell me I need to reboot! ;^)

Any further ideas?

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
