If the machine supports apm, then its enabled by default. If it isn't, then it can't be. Check your dmesg for lines similar to:
... apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: battery life expectancy 100% apm0: AC on, battery charge high apm0: flags 30102 dobusy 0 doidle 1 ... If those exist, then apm is setup and configured. If they don't, then you'll have to wait for the ACPI code to be written. Only way to speed that up is to donate money/machines that Marco et al request for ACPI. The link from MS does refer to APM/ACPI, but doesn't apply here. The same functionality happens when you add the -p option to shutdown.
