In a word: jitter

The PPS API described in RFC2783 isn't supported on USB serial ports on FreeBSD 8.3 or 9.0

Note that the PPS API  *is* supported:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/sys/timepps.h?v=FREEBSD9
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/kern/kern_ntptime.c?v=FREEBSD9

But that timepps.h is only included via uart/uart_bus
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/uart/uart_bus.h?v=FREEBSD9

Compare:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/uart/uart_core.c?v=FREEBSD9
and
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/sio/sio.c?v=FREEBSD9
and
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/pc98/cbus/sio.c?v=FREEBSD9

to anything found in

http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/usb/serial/?v=FREEBSD9
