You need apmd_enable="YES" in rc.conf, and you need to recompile the kernel. There is a line in the kernel config file that reads device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 Delete the disable, rebuild kernel, and reboot. If apmd is running, which the apmd_enable line should take care of, it should work.
