I have attempted something similiar in OpenBSD (I want a number of switches and routers accessible via console), with 4.2. I have had problems.

I've been able to get the four-port serial card (mos 9835 like yours if I'm not mistaken) recognized and I get a grand total of ONE of those four ports to work.
I don't know if the system is finding confusion because they all answer on the same IRQ, or what.

I am going to test out the same card on 4.3 and 4.4 (when it comes out), so I'll try to remember to post back here when I do my testing.

Here's the portion of my OBSD 4.2 dmesg- it sees them all, so why can I only hit the first one!?!?!

Code:
puc0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "NetMos 4S" rev 0x01: ports: 4 com
pccom3 at puc0 port 0 irq 5: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
pccom4 at puc0 port 1 irq 5: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
pccom5 at puc0 port 2 irq 5: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
pccom6 at puc0 port 3 irq 5: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
