I believe this might be your answer:
dima@hornet# sysctl machdep.tsc_freq
machdep.tsc_freq: 498853267
The actual frequency is different every time you start up, and if your
application doesn't care, just round it off.
In case you're wondering how I found this, I used:
`sysctl -a | grep 498` since I know 498 is my CPU frequency as
reported by the kernel on startup.
Hope this helps
