Install the devel/acpicatools port.

Use acpidump to extract the raw dsdt/aml file.
Use iasl to disassemble it to an asl file.

Patch the asl file and compile it back to an aml.

Use the following in loader.conf to override your system dsdt:
acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/acpi_dsdt.aml"
