judging by the bug reports when things get broken there are still a

do use dialup still. Some of these also use mpd. I can not say how many plan to keep using this in the future but it may be that the simplest answer is a completely separate sio driver that
just has netgraph hooks. I haven't talked with Ed yet but there
may be may ways to solve this problem.
Take a look at uart(4). It has been designed to allow different
kernel interfaces. It currently supports TTYs and keyboards. It
should not be too hard to have it hook into netgraph.
