Could be. The following should set clocal while issuing messages:

Add to /etc/gettytab...

modem.9600|Dial In Modem 9600bps:\
        :sp#9600:c0#cb00:
modem.19200|Dial In Modem 19200bps:\
        :sp#19200:c0#cb00:
modem.38400|Dial In Modem 38400bps:\
        :sp#38400:c0#cb00:
modem.57600|Dial In Modem 57600bps:\
        :sp#57600:c0#cb00:
modem.115200|Dial In Modem 115200bps:\
        :sp#115200:c0#cb00:

then set the argument to getty in /etc/ttys to modem.<speed>.
