 * I'm pretty sure this means I can use uucp UID, or daemon UID/dialer GID.
 * I'm favoring the second, but I want to make sure this works within the
 * greater scheme of things. Which UID or UID/GID combination is best for a
 * daemon process that forks copies of itself to open modems?

I think that's the job of "dialer" group.

 * The second question is, I need to feed the UID, and GID if used, to the
 * Makefile.  Do I assume that all FreeBSD systems have the same IDs for what
 * I have selected, or is there a way to extract this in the Makefile.  I
 * thought I had seen this discussed here before, but I couldnt' find it in
 * the archives.

Well, user/group "uucp" and group "dialer" are parts of the standard
installation, so I think you can assume they are fixed.
