  If ACPI doesn't report it for you via sysctl (somewhere under hw.acpi tree -
look for "temp" string there), it all depends on monitoring chips which are
used for those machines. These chips usually aren't part of the main chipset,
are available via SMBus / LPC (ex-ISA), and can even be different on the
different batches of the same MB (I've seen it on Intel desktop MB).
You can just try sysutils/healthd port, possible with my patch:

ftp://external.atlantis.dp.ua/FreeBSD/healthd/0.7.9/patch-IntelDeskBoards.v04

which adds support for the following monitoring chips: Analog Devices ADM1025,
SMSC LPC47M1x2, and National Semiconductors LM85.
