If you only need to sync the device when the hotsync button is pressed,
there is an example for Visor in usbd.conf; mine has
device "Handspring Visor"
devname "ucom0"
vendor 0x082d
product 0x0100
release 0x0100
attach "/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/chown vladimir /dev/ttyU0; /usr/bin/su - vladimir -c /usr/X11R6/bin/jpilot-sync'"
