You left out:
d) change "com0 at isa?" to "com* at isa?", ensure that there is no
"com0 at anything", and leave "com* at acpi?" unchanged. Because of
the order in which autoconfiguration happens, the first ACPI-attached
com port will be com0; or if there is no ACPI, then the first
ISA-attached com port will be com0. Similarly for com[123], lpt[012],
etc.
I have been running kernels like this for years.
