I don't think it's planned - or maybe it was shelved pending SMPng. The kernel doesn't keep the statistics that xcpustate et. al. want. About a year ago, I groveled through the mail lists and found kernel patches to provide those stats, as well as xcpustate patches to adopt it for FreeBSD. You can probably find the same messages, but it's not clear whether the patches will work on -stable now. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
