I have this in devfs.rules ->
add path 'ugen*' group operator mode 660

And I have a devd file in /usr/local/etc/devd/nut.conf with..

attach 100 {
        device-name "ugen[0-9]+";
        match "vendor"  "0x0463";
        match "product" "0xffff";
        action "chown nutmon: /dev/${device-name}*; chmod 600 /dev/${device-name}*";
};

(I changed the NUT port to run as the nutmon user)

And it seems that they conflict - I was ending up with perms like so..
crw-rw----  1 nutmon  operator    0, 100 Aug  7 17:49 /dev/ugen0
crw-rw----  1 root    operator    0, 162 Aug  7 17:49 /dev/ugen0.1

However nutmon should have access to both..
[midget 11:26] ~ >id nutmon
uid=95(nutmon) gid=66(uucp) groups=66(uucp),5(operator)

I did try temporarily commenting out the ugen entry in devfs.rules so the 
perms stay at..
crw-rw----  1 nutmon  operator    0, 100 Aug  7 17:49 /dev/ugen0
crw-rw----  1 nutmon  operator    0, 162 Aug  7 17:49 /dev/ugen0.1

but it still fails :(
