You motherboard is nForce3 based so you don't need
nfpm.  nfpm is just an alias for amdpm, so this is
probably why you can't find its sources:

# grep nfpm sys/conf/files
pci/amdpm.c                     optional amdpm pci | nfpm pci

# amdpm         AMD 756 Power Management Unit
# amdsmb        AMD 8111 SMBus 2.0 Controller
# nfpm          NVIDIA nForce Power Management Unit
# nfsmb         NVIDIA nForce2/3/4 MCP SMBus 2.0 Controller

I've written amdsmb for Asus SK8N, only to find out
that there are no sensors attached to it.  :-)
