It's really very simple, if I get my way, this will be possible:
# rm /dev/null
# echo 'OOPS!'
# rm -W /dev/null
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 3 Feb 21:25 /dev/null
# mount -t devfs devfs /home/jail/dev
# cd /home/jail/dev
# rm -f *
# rm -W null zero tty console
# ls -l
crw------- 1 phk wheel 0, 0 2 Feb 01:09 console
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 0 2 Feb 01:06 fd
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 3 Feb 21:25 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 1, 0 3 Feb 17:27 tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 12 1 Jan 1970 zero
