Basically everything that's using the following ioctls:

consio.h:
	KDSETMODE, KDSBORDER, CONS_SETWINORG, CONS_SETKBD,
	VT_RELDISP, VT_ACTIVATE, VT_WAITACTIVE

kbio.h:
	KDSKBMODE, KDMKTONE, KDSETMODE, KDSBORDER, KDSKBSTATE,
	KIOCSOUND, KDSETRAD

pioctl.h:
	PIOCBIS, PIOCBIC, PIOCSFL, PIOCCONT

ttycom.h:
	TIOCSIG

I don't see much point in recompiling ports except for testing;
just doing it on the next occasion is OK.  It's much easier to
just recompile a kernel, given that COMPAT_FREEBSD6 is in the
GENERIC config, and will certainly be needed for more things as
we approach 7.0-RELEASE.
