Sadly, no:

ugen0: Keyspan product 0x010b, rev 1.00/80.01, addr 2

I do recall finding a patch a long time ago that I used on my work laptop.
Why it was never committed, I don't know.  It worked well, you just didn't
want to unplug the adapter while an app had the port open.

If you Google, you should find it.  Whether it will apply cleanly to
-stable is another question.
