acpilid0 at acpi0 (LID, PNP0C0D): ACPI Lid Switch <-- good news

That should give a message similar to the AC adapter one when you
close/open the lid.  You should also get messages when you hit the
sleep/hibernate button, press the power buttom, and run the battery
way down.  You'll want to startup in rc.conf:
apmd=YES
powerd=YES
envsys=YES

And you'll see the powerd scripts in /etc/powerd/scripts
