Not sure in general, but I have an X2 which says the following
in /var/run/dmesg.boot:
FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Feb 11 17:12:37 EST 2006
root@duncan.reilly.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DUNCAN

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (2211.34-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x20fb1 Stepping = 1

I'm running with /boot/loader.conf containing:
kern.smp.disabled="1"
because that's the only way that the 4front-tech OSS sound card
driver for my m-audio delta 1010 will load. (If I have both CPUs
going then it is unable to allocate a contiguous chunk of 30k-ish
RAM, 64k-aligned, by the time it gets going, in /etc/rc.local.)
Dunno if that sysctl would change the way the CPU is reported,
though.
I'm happy to help answer any questions, because there's a few
other pieces of my shiny new GA-K8N9 motherboard that don't work
properly too. (nve0 times out a lot and the system freezes up
for a second or two whenever it does. I'm hoping that recent
comments about interrupt routing fixes will mean that this'll
get better soon.)
GA-K8N9 is an nForce 4 based board. I only have 1G of RAM at
the moment, so I'm not seeing this problem.
Cheers,
