I've never heard of athcool before, but assuming it's a cpu frequency tool, powernowd seems to build and run fine without this (athlon64 and 7447A G4), and just echoing the governor name (ondemand,powersave,performance) >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor should work since 2.6.9 for many processors (that is, performance and powersave should work, ondemand isn't supported on some high-latency processors like the 7447A and seems to have broken in 2.6.12-rc6 on my winchester.
