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.
