Suspend and resume work nearly flawlessly on my X220 running 10.1.  I
say nearly flawlessly because maybe one out of 10 resumes I'm switched
from my X session to virtual terminal 1.  It's not a big deal
though.  Alt-f9 brings me back to where I left off.

The main headache with the X220 is a BIOS issue which prevents booting
a GPT-partitioned disk without UEFI.  This problem isn't specific to
FreeBSD.  UEFI and root ZFS don't work yet.  A good solution for now is
to use GRUB.

Of course the X220 isn't available new any more and I'm not sure about
the successors (X230 and X240).  Off topic: It's a shame Lenovo messed
with the keyboard (I don't mean the chicklet keys, but the layout).
