Sorry about the slow response here...

Those /dev/ttyS* entries should not be symlinks according to the udev
rule.  The udev rule will try to create actual nodes of /dev/ttyS, and
then symlinks to those in /dev/tts/.

Do you have RC_DEVICE_TARBALL set in /etc/conf.d/rc?  That is the only
way I can think of that this would occur.  If so, try setting it to
"no", to allow udev to completely manage /dev.  RC_DEVICE_TARBALL is
rarely needed now...

/usr/sbin/pppd: Couldn't stat /dev/ttyS0: Too many
levels of symbolic links.

Yeah, /dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/tts/0 -> /dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/tts/0 -> ...
