For the power model part McPAT is a good choice.
You can search it in the mail list, there are several discussions on it.
The basic procedure is:
1. Running benchmarks in gem5 and getting the simulation results
2.Use a script to parse the simulation results into the form which McPAT
use ( .xml interface)
   there are already some python scripts for this purpose, but still some
bugs in it.
3.Caculate power in McPAT.

In Addition, if you'd like to get the power vs. timing profile. You need to
modify the simulation script in gem5 to dump the simulation result every
few cycles.

For the performance traces, I think you can use the trace provided by gem5.
