But to answer your question, if your PC's devices are all correctly working with FreeBSD drivers and if you don't use power management I see no great need for ACPI. Laptops might need the power management component of ACPI. Some motherboards use ACPI to let you read out things like temperatures and fan speeds. But those can mostly also be discovered by other programs.
