In contrast, when I briefly tried NetBSD, most of these combos did not work.
For sleeping, apmd has to be set as a startup daemon. I haven't bothered setting up hibernation, since that would mean repartitioning, which I don't have the time or resources for at the moment.

So do you think it's not a good idea to try it anyway? (I am using a Thinkpad T42 too currently)
