You should be able to do this provided,
A) You enable ttyv9 in /etc/ttys.
2) You have permission to write to it. Permissions on the ttyv's are,
% ls -l /dev/ttyv?
crw------- 1 cjc tty 12, 0 Mar 7 20:44 /dev/ttyv0
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 1 Mar 7 00:36 /dev/ttyv1
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 2 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv2
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 3 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv3
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 4 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv4
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 5 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv5
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 6 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv6
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 7 Feb 20 22:09 /dev/ttyv7
crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 8 Sep 1 1999 /dev/ttyv8
Read-write for root only unless you are logged in at one (like I am
at ttyv0).
