Yep.  It's right there in hurd/boot/boot.c, for example:

ds_device_open (mach_port_t master_port,
                mach_port_t reply_port,
                mach_msg_type_name_t reply_type,
                dev_mode_t mode,
                dev_name_t name,
                mach_port_t *device,
                mach_msg_type_name_t *devicetype)
{
  if (master_port != pseudo_master_device_port)
    return D_INVALID_OPERATION;

  if (!strcmp (name, "console"))
    {
...

[if the programmer isn't going to the code, the code must go to him :) ]
 
Thanks,
