There are two ways to do it. One of them is to add the line device
acpi to the kernel config and recompile the kernel. The second option
is to load acpi as a module.
kldload acpi.ko

Alternatively you can put acpi_enable="YES" in /boot/loader.conf to
automate the process. And there is no daemon like apmd for acpi. It is
a KLM.
