I've finally got the userland part down, it's a bit slow since it's all shell 
scripts but it works for me.
The following is added to my devd.conf to relay the acpi_fuji events:
notify 10 {
	match "system"		"ACPI";
	match "subsystem"		"FUJI";
	action "/etc/rc.d/acpi_fuji_exec.sh $notify";
};

Then into /etc/rc.d I put this:
http://am-productions.biz/docs/acpi_fuji_exec.sh
Then from an xterm or similar run the following from an X session (This is 
actually good for displaying the logger event from the syslog) 
requires /usr/ports/misc/xosd :
