acpi ok but cpufreq not supporting my CPUs

Hello,
I have a FreeBSD box running 6.2R on 2 dual core Xeon LV (sossaman).
Vanilla ACPI is supported, and powerd works great. But advanced
features are unavailable because cpufreq won't recognize my CPUs. For
example, as acpi will only reduce frequency and not voltage, the CPU
remains at the same temperature.
I've read on http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-est/ that "est" port,
from where comes cpufreq's "est", won't handle multiple CPUs. Is that
still true ?
dmesg (part of):

Is there anything I can do to make "est" work with the sossaman CPU ?
thanks in advance,
