Well, it is actually there, but commented out:

marck_at_woozle:/lh/src.current/sys> grep 'device.*puc' */conf/GENERIC
amd64/conf/GENERIC:#device              puc
i386/conf/GENERIC:#device               puc
ia64/conf/GENERIC:device                puc             # Multi I/O cards and multi-channel UARTs
sparc64/conf/GENERIC:device             puc             # Multi-channel uarts
sun4v/conf/GENERIC:#device              puc             # Multi-channel uarts

It seems it's in that state from the very beginning (cvs ann/log survery on 
sys/i386/conf/GENERIC):

Mention the puc(4) glue driver in a commented-out example so the user
of "dumb" PCI-based serial/parallel boards get a hint how to enable
them.

I wasn't sure about the ia64, pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 archs whether
they'd support puc(4) or not.
