Adding "hint.acpi.0.disable="1" and hint.apm.0.disable="0" to
/boot/device.hints got it working.  Thanks.  Other than having to put them
back if the device is added, is there any problem with removing device.hints
lines for drivers that aren't present?

On a side note, it's not terribly obvious that these "kernel variables" have
to go in device.hints.  Loader variables go in loader.conf.  But then loader
variables configure the kernel at boot time, so the line between the two is
really fuzzy.
