Yeah, I think you won't be able to use the built-in support.

Casper Dik maintains an unofficial PowerNow! driver for older CPUs in
frkit: http://blogs.oracle.com/jyothi/entry/trying_out_frkit

I would recommend selecting only powernow when you run frkit, as some
of the other drivers and tools in frkit may be out of date.
