Yes. This is what /boot/kernel.config is is for.
en apm0
q
will do the trick. (This also requires that the statement:
userconfig_script_load="YES"
be in /boot/loader.conf, but it usually already is.)

loader.conf is not too well documented and kernel.conf seem
undocumented. Guess I should try to find the time to write a man page
for the latter.
