Nope! The device entries have quite different owners (dialer, opertaor, ...)
See /dev/MAKEDEV for the settings used when the are created...
/dev itself is root:wheel!

Most executables are bin:bin. However, some of the setuid/setgid need to bee in
a different user/group, for obvious reasons (that's the whole point of setuid,
setgid). Maybe the man pages will help...
Try getting a bin release and run
cat bin.?? | tar tzvf | more
It will show the owners of the base binaries... I don't know about packages,
though :-(
