I applied the patch to 2 desktop machines and added performance_cpu_freq="HIGH" to rc.conf: 8.3-PRERELEASE #3 r232864M: Mon Mar 12 16:11:47 PDT 2012 dev.cpu.0.freq: 2927 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2927/95000 2926/95000 2793/78000 2660/70000 ... 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #0 r232923M: Tue Mar 13 10:06:33 PDT 2012 dev.cpu.0.freq: 3301 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3301/95000 3300/95000 3100/87000 2900/80000 ... so it appears to be working for me automatically.
