So, a little late, but here are the relevant settings for the X230.

loader.conf:
aesni_load="YES"

autoboot_delay="1"
loader_logo="beastie"

kern.maxfiles="25000"
kern.cam.boot_delay="2000"

# Energy saving

hw.snd.latency=7

# Increase netgraph memory size for heavy VirtualBox network load
net.graph.maxdata=65536

# experimental
vfs.read_max=64

# Don't power devices with no driver attached
hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=3

# APIC Timers block C3
hint.apic.0.clock=0

# Mute speaker when headphone jack is inserted and enable headphones
dev.hdaa.0.nid26_config="as=1 seq=0"
dev.hdaa.0.nid22_config="as=1 seq=15"


# No memory tests at boot time
hw.memtest.tests=0

hw.psm.trackpoint_support=1
#hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 # un-comment if you use the touchpad

# Boot-time kernel tuning
kern.ipc.shmseg=1024
kern.ipc.shmmni=1024
kern.maxproc=10000
# Increase max stack size
kern.maxssiz=1073741824

kern.vty=vt

#power saving (HUGE difference)
drm.i915.enable_rc6=7

debug.psm.loglevel=0

kern.vt.splash_cpu=1
kern.vt.splash_cpu_style=1


======================================

rc.conf:

moused_enable="YES"
# Enable scrolling with 3rd mouse button
moused_flags="-VH -U12 -L5"

powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a hiadaptive -b hiadaptive"

# Kernel Modules

performance_cx_lowest="Cmax"
economy_cx_lowest="Cmax"

webcamd_enable="YES"
smartd_enable="YES"
autofs_enable="YES"

==============================

sysctl.conf:

# Disable the system speaker
kern.vt.enable_bell=0

# Tune for desktop usage
kern.sched.preempt_thresh=224

# Enable shm_allow_removed (for Chromium)
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1

# Suspend when the lid is closed
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=s3

kern.module_path=/boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/usr/local/modules


# Enable acpi_ibm button events
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events=1

# Increase audio volume
hw.snd.vpc_0db=15
hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0

# faster shutdown
hw.usb.no_shutdown_wait=1

==================================

rc.suspend

[...]
/usr/sbin/service powerd quietrestart
/usr/sbin/service netif restart
[...]


==================================

I don't know if all that is still needed on HEAD, but it's all running fine on my box.
