The pkgsrc people are usually very quick to act. The only exception I've
found is this dfly-pkg-people@ alias

Once a PR is assigned to it, you can abandon all hope it will be fixed.
It would be best to remove this alias IMHO.

I don't know if I'd use the word usually.  Like most things in life,
it likely depends on who is involved.  If you have already dealt with a
specific maintainer who reacts quickly, then it's appropriate to keep
working through him.

However it can take a while for a PR to even get assigned, and then the
maintainer may sit on it indefinitely without any communication.  If
it's just a simple patch, and especially if it's highly-used package, it
might be more efficient to ping me instead.

I think the dfly-pkg-people idea was probably okay in theory, but it
doesn't sound like it's been too successful so far.

 Under most of the cases, powernow kernel module is outdated, you
 should use acpi p-states if possible.
 It looks like acpi p-states do exist, but lacking CPU driver.  Could
 you post the dmesg?

 dmesg attached, thanks for your quick answer.

Try following patch:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/pstate_machdep.c.diff

See whether following sysctl appears:
hw.acpi.cpu.px_dom0.select
