yep. And unless you've specifically told it otherwise, mandrake 9.0 uses
devfs anyway, so you shouldn't even need to do that.

As far as I know, if the device is plugged in and it's working, there
should be a symlink called /dev/raw1394 to the appropriate "real" /dev
entry when the module is loaded.

You might have more luck walking through the /dev/ieee1394 directory.
But I don't know anything about firewire, so that's really just a guess.
