On recent FreeBSD, the devices should be created automatically if the
hardware they support is present.  What device exactly are you trying
to create?
Im  trying to create carp pseudo device. In rc.conf, I can simply configure  it 
using ifconfig, however only after the device have been created. So  manually I 
would say:
  ifconfig carp create
  ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass mypasswd ipaddress
  
  something like that...

If the problem is that the devices aren't ready yet, try devfs.rules(5).
