That's my presentation about the same topic in Russian for KyivBSD 2010 
conference. The mentioned guide in English can be found here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/TuningPowerConsumption

I've just added there some points about AMD C1E state and its support in 
FreeBSD 8.x and 9.x from my knowledge. Unluckily I never had laptop with 
AMD CPU to really test power management there.
