I got it to work in non-client/server mode, and am working on making it also
work in client/server mode. (gkrellmd as opposed to gkrellm)

Is there anything you can say regarding an estimate on when per-cpu specific
stats will hit the official CURRENT and STABLE branches?

Are you interested in what I did to gkrellm so far?  All that was necessary
was a small patch to src/sysdeps/freebsd.c in the gkrellm tree as far as
making it work with your patch was concerned.  I can send the patch to your
email adres, or make it available on my website. :)
