The first questions to ask are: 1) does this machine even have a H/W

Yes, but so far I haven't found out anything by searching.

What processor is in it? Not a Core2Duo. I'm guessing since it's
circa 2004, probably a Pentium 3 or 4, or possibly an older AMD.

Pentium 4. From dmesg:

Have you tried sysutils/mbmon? Or running 'sysctl hw.acpi|grep tz'?
