FWIW, this is working for me:

FreeBSD diesel.lassitu.de 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Wed Dec 22 
18:45:26 CET 2004

CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (532.64-MHz 686-class CPU)
   Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x673  Stepping = 3
   Features=0x803035<FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,MMX>

(it's a Lexware barebone.)

I have this in my kernel config:
machine         i386
cpu             I686_CPU

and no CPUTYPE set in make.conf.


HTH,
Stefan
