I think this should be
retval=`/usr/sbin/apm -l`
# No?

and this one;
if [ $retval -lt 10 ]; then
would be better.

I'm not sure if your bios can report POWERSTATECHANGE event or some,
so you'd better to confirm it first (by putting logger line in your script 
for example or re-compile your kernel with options APM_DEBUG).

#!/bin/sh
logger -s 'APM status changed!'
retval=`/usr/sbin/apm -l`

if [ $retval -lt 10 ]; then
	/usr/local/bin/beep
	/usr/local/bin/beep
	/usr/local/bin/beep
fi
exit 0
