Edit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/your_scanner_device.conf and put /dev/scanner on the last line. Make a link to /dev/scanner to the actual device name you need. I know the docs are not real clear on this. I think I spent about 4 or 5 hours myself trying to figure this out. Also If your running X I would install the gimp port and then install xsane.
