It sounds like thre's something seriously wrong with the copy
of the tarballs you got (or maybe the tarballs themselves).
genassym builds just fine for me, and has for months...

there are already plenty:

/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERICAHA:
device           com0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" irq 4
device           com1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" irq 3
device           com2    at isa? port "IO_COM3" irq 5

/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERICBT:
device            com0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" irq 4
device            com1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" irq 3
device            com2    at isa? port "IO_COM3" irq 5

i dunno why they don't work for you -- they definitely work for me:

it's only got one serial port, and that one's detected just fine.
