Not totally sure if this is what you're trying to do, but have you looked at setserial? IIRC, it saves it's findings after the first run in a conffile, and uses them for later runs. This conffile is also used to (somehow - magic, I'm guessing) take all the work out of configuring serial ports at boot time. Worked wonders for me on an old laptop.
