Yes, it seems to be that problem. Tested on my other machine, which hasn't changed since the problem was discovered:
root@kg-v7# service devd status
devd is not running.
root@kg-v7# ll /var/run/devd.pid
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  3 Jan 12 20:40 /var/run/devd.pid
root@kg-v7# lsof /var/run/devd.pid
COMMAND   PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
dhclient 1075  root    5w  VREG   0,70        3 918547 /var/run/devd.pid
dhclient 1091 _dhcp    5w  VREG   0,70        3 918547 /var/run/devd.pid
root@kg-v7# 

So, if this was worked on back in 2009, why isn't fixed yet?
