I see, thanks. I was actually trying to get powerd running, but it was
complaining about missing "freq". It turns out freq is a sysctl provided 
by cpufreq and has nothing to do with acpi. So I guess I was asking the 
wrong question.

Anyway, the answers here got me further, but after playing around I now 
have "powernow0 attach returned 6" in my dmesg, and no dev.cpu.*.freq 
sysctl's. This looks a lot like PR i386/106850. I can provide any info 
necessary if anyone wants to look into this.
