Well, brightness works with the command line, sooo.... I think it has to be mapped to the hardware keys. There is a long thread where I discussed this with a couple other members (toward the bottom for the recent brightness
discussion).

Thanks a lot for pointing this discussion, I found there information
more up-to-date than what I previously found.

In particular, according to what I understand from
http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-current&m=133341372825281&w=2
helping with the brightness seems to require a quite broad understanding
of ACPI and/or EC, and maybe also a good overview of how things work
currently in FreeBSD. Both of these seem to be far beyond anything that
I can reach in a reasonable amount of time :-(

Oh, what I forgot:
Have you tried x11/xbacklight? You should be able to in- and decrease the
screen's brightness with it.
