From memory there's been some discussion about how to report CPU features (probably via an additional sysctl), but I'm not sure what's happened. There's nothing in -current yet, so it'll be a while before there's anything in -stable. >FWIW, I have an AMD K6-III, though FreeBSD doesn't know it. Probably because there's nothing in the kernel that needs to know. There's code in src/sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c in -current to recognize the K6-III.
