First off, go to www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO and read about notebook support. Those items you mentioned you will not need to specifically tell Freebsd about, however; be sure your not trying to use these IRQ somewhere else. I'm running 2.2.5 on my ThinkPad 750Cs, and although it took a bit of work at first (mostly with XFree86) it runs fine. Have fun!
