The missing parts appear to be in the linux portion of the tree.  It didn't 
compile on my system, so I'm pretty sure there would be some coding work 
required.  If you did get it to work, I'm not sure what the performance would 
be.

You could google or inquire on xorg at lists.freedesktop.org to determine what 
the linux performance is.  Also, there may be others working on completing 
(updating?) the FreeBSD port that you could join forces with.
