Damn, I wish I knew earlier... The machine I'm retiring now -- but which
was my primary horse 3 years ago -- has "Super I/O" :-(

Thanks, I'll explore that pointer...

Both NetBSD and OpenBSD (and, likely, DragonFly too) have something
called sdtemp(4):
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/i2c/sdtemp.c?v=NETBSD
I thought, that driver would be part of the unfortunate "basic support
for a few sensors"...
Anyway, I'll try merging the
http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/sensors9.diff, and see, what gives...
Is not it just like Linux, that one needs to get patches from here and
there to get going :-\ ?
