We have some code that emulates a PC-like APM device in -current as of
last June; make sure you have:

apm0    at adb?

in your kernel configuration, create the apm device node (cd /dev;
./MAKEDEV apm), and you can use the apm(1) command to check battery
status, or build one of the GUI battery meters in pkgsrc, like
sysutils/xbattbar.
