I recently installed FreeBSD 4.9 on my laptop (a Toshiba).  It performs 
significantly better than Gentoo Linux does on the same machine (I'm still 
dualbooting it right now).  

My PCMCIA-card worked out of the box, APM only after a kernel recompile.  So 
in my opinion, FreeBSD is very laptop friendly.  At least more than OpenBSD.
