You could try to kldload acpi_video.

# kldload acpi_video
# sysctl -a | grep brightness

should show up a key which you can use to set the brightness.

# sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness=100

For some vendors (e.g. Lenovo) there are custom modules with their own  
brightness setting keys:

# kldload acpi_ibm
# sysctl -a | grep brightness

If none of this are working, you might want to try out  
ports/sysutils/acpi_call and directly calling an ACPI method to  
increase or set the brightness. This was btw the only way it is  
working for my Lenovo X121e and E330.

Kind regards,
Matthias
