options SMP
Will that do the trick?

From memory, yup. That's all it takes.
Alternatively, rebuild with KERNCONF=SMP in /etc/make.conf (the SMP config
file is exactly:
include GENERIC
options SMP
Personally (I run an AMD64-X2 myself) if I'm going to go to the extent of
tweaking make.conf to point to a specific kernel, then I'll make my own
copy of GENERIC (named after hostname, as is the tradition), add "options
SMP" to it, and then proceed to tweak it as I see fit...
Cheers,
