available with powernow:
machdep.powernow.frequency.target The target frequency of the CPUs.

CAVEATS
The powernow driver is considered a legacy interface to be used only with
relatively old systems. The driver supports only AMD processor families
K7 (for instance, Duron, Athlon, and some Semprons) and K8 (namely, the
early 64-bit family, including Athlon 64, Opteron, and Turion).
