Does this one support IPMI?
Yes, the Supermicro PDSMi supports the IPMI 2.0 module and I can
confirm that it works with the IPMI ported driver from current on
6.1. The module is optional so you will have to purchase one for
the system, around 0. You will also need the latest BIOS loaded on
the motherboard for it to work.

I don't want to spend $50 extra per system, just so i can read the temperature, and not even use any of the IPMI functions. I need a simple and scriptable way to get the values, acpi sysctls are ideal for this.

Have you tried ports/sysutils/mbmon?

It can try to get the values in different ways, e.g. accessing the chip
directly, smbus or isa. It is easily scriptable. I use it in combination
with gnuplot in a shell-script to make a graph of the CPU and
motherboard temperatures;

I did and it only worked for my on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe evidently uses another IO chip (or e newer revision) and on my lab's i386 ASUS P800 system I have the same problem, neither ACPI, smbus nor anything else seems to work or obtain temperature/fan speed.

It's funny, on those boxes xmbmon/mbmon worked fine I also saw ACPI thermal zones and fan speed (expecially my older ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe).
