I went through hell with this and found the solution on accident.

make sure you have the following:

in KERNEL:
device              apm0    at nexus?
device		    dc0

in your /etc/rc.conf:
apm_enable="YES"
apmd_enable="YES"

recompile your kernel and install it and you should be good to go.
I hope this works for you, it worked with 4.5 on my vaio.
