Sure:

/some_host_bridge/some_pci/some_faked_isa/NS16450 at 3f8
/some_host_bridge/some_pci/some_faked_isa/NS16450 at 2f8
/some_host_bridge/some_pci/some_faked_isa/NS16450 at 898
/some_host_bridge/some_pci/some_faked_isa/NS16450 at 890

I don't think they're actually called this in any current
Open Firmware implementation, though; not even serial at 3f8
or something like that (although they _should_ be!)

But I suspect this is not what you meant?  I don't know
what you did mean then, though.
