I have Compaq Armada M700 and also had problems with acpi (no pci). The
ACPI data is bad even with latest BIOS. I found a help on list though - I
did acpidump, edited the dump (I didn't know what I was doing - only
followed advice to replace *PNPxxx with PNPxxx) and compiled it again with
iasl (from acpicatools from ports). Then I have following in my
/boot/loader.conf.

acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/acpi_dsdt.aml"

ACPI now works almost fine.
