yes I have, because I have dual-boot (as you know) with GNU/Linux and in
the last OS the fans are behaving "properly"...

but I have good news... 

I have started my working day right now and just booted the laptop
enabling ACPI in the kernel (bsd -c, enable acpi, quit) and I have the
apmd_flags="-C" line in /etc/rc.conf.local

It's "arschkalt" outside (as Germans say), so that the laptop was
cold and now, after 20 min uptime the fans just begin to spin BUT after
some seconds they stop! :) 

At least this happened three times.

I have the feeling that the fans are spinning more frequently
than in GNU/Linux but I am paranoid.

But I would like to understand what happened...

1- Do I need apmd_flags="-C" line in /etc/rc.conf.local if I boot
   enabling acpi?

2- Why is acpi not enabled per default?

3- Is acpitz automatically enabled if I enable acpi (is it a part of
   acpi)?

Cheers,

Pau
