You can use devd.conf for this:

device-name "ugen[0-9].[0-9]";
match "vendor" "0x04b8";
match "product" "0x010a";
action "usb_devaddr=`echo $device-name | sed 's#^ugen##'` && \
chown root:saned /dev/usb/${usb_devaddr}.* && \
chmod 0660 /dev/usb/${usb_devaddr}.*
Copied from a post on -current or similar; apologies to the author, who
I've forgotten. I thought this was in the default devd.conf as an example,
but it appears not.
devfs.rules don't apply to devices that are created dynamically after
boot-up. Or I guess they might be if you reload the ruleset with applyset
after the device is created, but devd is a lot more capable.
Unfortunately this didn't help either (I replaced the vendor and product with
the correct digits for my scanner, and the chown with the user name). The usb
devices are still owned by root and not accessible as user.
For the sake of completeness: devd has to be restarted after changes to
devd.conf, and the code above is only executed when the scanner is
detected (USB cable plugged in or scanner powered on).
