KControl -> Power Control -> Laptop Battery doesn't work for you?  This 
starts the klaptop daemon that monitors the battery.  I haven't tried it 
on DFlyBSD, but it worked nicely for me in FreeBSD.  It's part of the KDE 
release, although I do not recall exactly which part includes it.

There's also the KPowersave daemon, although I believe it might be very 
Linux-specific.
