On 5.x at least, /boot/device.hints contains

 hint.apm.0.disabled="1"
 hint.apm.0.flags="0x20"

So you'll likely need to add to /boot/loader.conf:

 hint.apm.0.disabled="0"
 hint.apm.0.flags="0"     # assuming a non-broken statclock

Then early in your dmesg.boot you should see such as

 apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard
 apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2

and both /dev/apm and /dev/apmctl should appear.

In rc.conf:

 apm_enable="YES"
 apmd_enable="YES"
 apmd_flags="-v"

cheers, Ian
