You only need to enable acpi and acpibut in GENERIC and
add powerd=YES to rc.conf to have that support..

Does anyone know if there has been any analysis on the
effect of P4 hyperthreading and MP support of NetBSD,
compared to a UP kernel?

Last time I built the release, I used MP on my HT
box and it seemed to work at least as well as with
a UP kernel.
