FWIW, it seems to be working for me:

cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 16: AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor             , id 
0x600f12

...

amdnb_misc0 at pci0 dev 24 function 3: AMD NB Misc Configuration
amdtemp0 at amdnb_misc0: AMD CPU Temperature Sensors (Family15h)


# envstat -d amdtemp0
                    Current  CritMax  WarnMax  WarnMin  CritMin  Unit
cpu0 temperature:    23.000                                     degC
