Yes, read the saf, sacadm, and pmadm man pages.
The default install will probably already have a ttymon running.
......
# sacadm -l
PMTAG          PMTYPE         FLGS RCNT STATUS     COMMAND
zsmon          ttymon         -    0    ENABLED    /usr/lib/saf/ttymon #
......

And here are the ports in zsmon
.......
# pmadm -l
PMTAG          PMTYPE         SVCTAG         FLGS ID       <PMSPECIFIC>
zsmon          ttymon         ttya           u    root     /dev/term/a I - /usr/bin/login - 9600 ldterm,ttcompat ttya login:  - tvi925 y  #
zsmon          ttymon         ttyb           u    root     /dev/term/b I - /usr/bin/login - 9600 ldterm,ttcompat ttyb login:  - tvi925 y  #
.......
