The "FreeBSD way" would be to create the file /etc/devfs.rules and put..
[root=100]

add path 'cuadX' group nut mode 660

and then put this in /etc/rc.conf
devfs_system_ruleset="root"

Then run this to install the rules
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart

Although since cuad is already owned by dialer and mod 0660 you can just
create a nut user and add it to the dialer group, or build the port with
NUT_GROUP=dialer.

For USB I created /usr/local/etc/devd/nut.conf with entries like..
attach 100 {
        device-name "ugen[0-9]+";
        match "vendor"  "0x0463";
        match "product" "0xffff";
        action "chown uucp /dev/$device-name*; chmod 660 /dev/$device-name*";
};
