If you write a detailed description of devfs please add it to devfs(5)
and just replace the existing manpage of MAKEDEV with something like:
The MAKEDEV script was deprecated by devfs(5) and geom(4) and
removed from FreeBSD after GEOM became mandatory. Please see
the devfs(5), devfs(8), geom(4) and mount_devfs(8) manpages for
more details.
This should be enough IMHO to point the reader to the right place.

PS: I really think that devfs(5) doesn't belong to section 5,
since it's not the description of a "file format", but this is a
very different topic.
