If your system is supported by the driver, it should print something like:

cpu0: AMD Cool`n'Quiet Technology
cpu0: available frequencies (Mhz): 1000 1800 2000
cpu0: current frequency (Mhz): 2000

And machdep.powernow sysctl tree made:

machdep.powernow.target = 2000
machdep.powernow.current = 2000
machdep.powernow.available = 1000 1800 2000
