Good to hear that it worked.

Actually, you can just config -e after the first boot, enable acpi,
quit and copy the modified kernel to /bsd.mp, just like it says in the
FAQ (actually making /bsd a link to /bsd.mp works too and ensures you
will always be booting the mp kernel)

The only remaining nit I have with my thinkpad is the still-flaky wpi
firmware which is needed for the 3945ABG to work.  It keeps nodding
off at random intervals, longer intervals now than earlier, but still.

It looks like your sound chip is a bit newer than the one in mine (not
surprising), I have 

azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 82801GB HD Audio" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 17 (irq 11)
azalia0: host: High Definition Audio rev. 1.0
azalia0: codec: Analog Devices AD1981HD (rev. 2.0), HDA version 1.0
azalia0: codec: Conexant/0x2bfa (rev. 0.0), HDA version 0.9
azalia0: codec[1]: No support for modem function groups
azalia0: codec[1]: No audio function groups
audio0 at azalia0

getting sound out of that required 

# mixerctl outputs.lineout=255,255

or an equivalent line in /etc/mixerctl.conf, plus presssing and
holding the 'volume up' button for a while.
