yes, udevd runs:
service boot.udev status
Checking for udevd:                                                   running

Here the beginning of my /etc/multipath.conf file:
defaults {
        udev_dir        /dev
        path_grouping_policy    multibus
        getuid_callout  "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
        prio    "alua"
        user_friendly_names yes

        default_features        "0"
}
blacklist {
        devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*|sda"
}
multipaths {
        multipath {
...
        }
}

this version of the multipath tools is installed: multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.40
