Shaun,
        You're going to need Kernel 2.6, unless they've backported this
functionality.  Then you want to read up and look documentation on
cpu-freq.  I just started configuring 2.6 kernel yesterday, and I
noticed a whole new section in there for CPU throttling, so there
is hope for you my friend :)
