Takawata might be able to help you better than me; I'm trying to learn this ACPI stuff myself (trying to add support for ACPI CMOS regions and fix my own laptop's flakiness).

If you're just running a generic kernel, I'm pretty sure all you have to do is:

 1. Ensure you have the system sources installed at /usr/src.
 2. Copy /usr/src/sys/$(uname -m)/conf/GENERIC to /usr/src/sys/$(uname -m)/conf/MYKERNEL. *
 3. Edit /usr/src/sys/$(uname -m)/conf/MYKERNEL to add the 'options ACPI_DEBUG' line.
 4. 'cd' to /usr/src.
 5. Run 'make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL'.
 6. Reboot.

* 'uname -m' prints your system architecture (e.g. 'amd64' or 'i386'); you could simply substitute the architecture string in the paths above.
