If you're just trying to change the cpu frequency, this is what I do
on 7.0-current (on my desktop system, running a Xeon 3060, which I
think is equivalent to the C2D E6600.)

# First, set the target frequency, this is 2.0 GHz,
# which appears to be the next step down for this CPU

sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest=2000

# Second, run powerd

powerd -a minimum

# Third, verify the setting took effect

sysctl -a | grep frequency

Sorry if this is not what you're looking for.  I'm not familiar with est.
