You'll need to make these changes:

==>to the kernel -- comment out the first line and add the second and
recompile the kernel
# Power management support (see LINT for more options)
#device         apm0    at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power
Management
device         apm0    at nexus? flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management

==>to the rc.conf -- add the line below
apm_enable="YES"

After you reboot, you should be able to use "shutdown -p now" and it will
turn off the machine. Look at the dmesg after the boot to see if you see
the "apm" onboard stuff. Check your BIOS too.
