No, the framework only allows clean user and kernel control of levels. 
You can use rc.conf to request a switch based on AC line transition but 
this is only a partial solution.

I think we should have a powerd daemon that reads system load, disk IO, 
etc. and makes scaling decisions as well as powers down ATA disks and 
the like.  I do not plan to write this.
