Then your machine doesn't support hyperthreading.

The machdep.hyperthreading_allowed sysctl is only present
if your machine actually has multiple logical CPUs.
If you don't see that sysctl, then your processor doesn't
have multiple hyperthreaded CPUs.

If you're interested how this is done in the source, see the
function cpu_hlt_setup() in src/sys/amd64/amd64/mp_machdep.c
or src/sys/i386/i386/mp_machdep.c, respectively.
