Apple hardware doesn't have APM per se but PMU. The pmud package contains the daemon with comparable functionality to apmd. There's a gkrellm plugin for it, and you can have it emulate APM, but that works only for software where you can specify the location of the emulated /proc/apm as it can't put it exactly there.
