I have seen many warnings from the developers and other knowledgeable people
on this list to not mix the -current and snapshot, so may be that is your
problem.

I find that ACPI and APM on OpenBSD works just like or probably better than it
does on other OS'es and distros, for my purposes. I am not very knowledgeable
about ACPI or APM but can provide you with what happens on my system (this is
just a desktop -- I am going to try this on my laptop as soon as I get a
chance). When I tried to do a boot -c, it did not work for me. Basically, the
keyboard would not function, so even though I got the UKC prompt, I could not
enter enable ACPI. So I did a config -ef /bsd from the root prompt, enabled
acpi and rebooted.
zzz and apm gave me the following . ..
$ zzz
Suspending system...
$
$ apm
Battery state: absent, 0% remaining, unknown life estimate
A/C adapter state: not known
Performance adjustment mode: manual (2412 MHz)
Here is part of my dmesg that had stuff about apm and acpi.
