I take it back.  /dev is not a real folder, either.  OS X is using
devfs (and fdesc):

(0)wazowski> mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
fdesc on /dev (fdesc, union)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, automounted)
/dev/disk1s1 on /Volumes/Media (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners)
/dev/disk2s2 on /Volumes/Time Machine Backups (hfs, local, nodev,
nosuid, journaled)

which means that /dev is just a way of using the file system API calls
to ask the operating system about its hardware (real and virtual), not
a regular folder.
