i. if you use APC Smart UPS (http://www.apcc.com):

APC Powerchute software does not work for FreeBSD, but apcupsd is a good
alternative:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/apcupsd/
also see ports

ii. orderly shutdown for server and clients is possible (FreeBSD, Windows
NT,....)
The windows client is based on a small cygwin distribution.
