http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-mobile/2006-August/008959.html
and the other post referenced there has clues for devd event handling.

Those are for a Thinkpad using acpi_ibm so I'm not sure how relevant it
may be for your notebook, and Nate says it's an Xorg problem anyway, but
perhaps it might help with your lid-close issue.

<hint> I'll keep hassling Norberto to subscribe to freebsd-acpi, as he's
had a -thermal/powerd problem that I feel may be resolvable here </hint>
