Thanks! I've rebuilt and am happy to say that nothing is hosed and I 
booted successfully :)

Here's my sysctl output:
$ sysctl hw.acpi.cpu
hw.acpi.cpu.max_speed: 8
hw.acpi.cpu.current_speed: 4
hw.acpi.cpu.performance_speed: 8
hw.acpi.cpu.economy_speed: 4
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/85 C3/185
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: 0
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_history: 23589/0 0/0 0/0 0/0

I played with the different levels a bit, and can't tell much difference 
in them. Let me know what else I can try to break with this.  Just for 
the info, I booted with a/c plugged in, but did the sysctl running on 
battery.

Thanks Nate for the hints..
Eric
