I guess then you just need a sysctl which lets you read the rules
for a given devfs mount point and another which lets you set the
rules for a given defvs mount point. I don't know if we also need
a global ruleset which is applied if the mount point speficic rules
fail to match.

The rules should be able to chmod and chown the nodes. Should it
also be able to prevent the creation matching nodes also?

You mentioned matching on the names drivers and nodes. Are there
any other sorts of matching we are likely to need?
