Is it actually suspending? or just shutting off the display?

you could try hw.acpi.reset_video, but my best suggestion would be to
upgrade to at least 7, if not releng_7.  There isn't much change to agp,
but you will get vgapci, along with the new drm code (releng_7) which
should actually deal with suspend/resume, though i don't think that I
have ever had anyone confirm or deny that it works.
