Did you disable ACPI? APM and ACPI won't work together. It's one or the
other.

You need to have apm loaded (either by building it into the kernel or by
loading it from /boot/loader.conf) and ACPI disabled by either
/boot/loader.conf or /boot/device.hints for apmd to be usable. The line
would be something like:
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

This is really not an ACPI question, so I have set followups to current@.
