I'm was looking through handbook and wikipedia and it appears FreeBSD doesn't support hardware (nor software) nx bit. There also doesn't seem to be any support for TPM (Trusted Platform Module).

I believe NX support was never implemented because Intel's version of AMD64 didn't support it. As for TPM, I don't see the point.
