Maybe some of this helps:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/TuningPowerConsumption

It may be somewhat out of date though;  the defaults in FreeBSD 9.x are
much better than 8.x.  And some of it will not apply to GNU/kFreeBSD.

You could make sure powerd is running and check for processes using
excessive CPU.  (lightdm possibly has problems).
