Try installing the sysutils/xmbmon port, which is an alternative to 
healthd.  You might have to fiddle with your kernel configuration to add 
smbus support, but for supported chipsets it usually works under GENERIC.

It's fairly easy to plug the output from mbmon into something like MRTG 
to produce nice graphs of CPU temperature over time.

	Cheers,
