Intel Linux Graphics on FreeBSD?

This may have already hit the list, but has anyone seen the
intellinuxgraphics.org driver site that Intel has produced.  It appears
they have created drivers for their cards for Linux.

Does anyone know if there is a work in progress to port these to
FreeBSD?  I run a laptop with an i810 video chipset and this would come
in very handy.

It appears they have an X.org 2D driver, a DRM kernel module, and a Mesa
3D GL driver for the following cards/chipsets:

965G, 965Q, 946GZ, 945G, 945GM, 915G, 915GM, 865G, 855GM, 852GM, 845G,
i830M, 815, 810, 810-DC100.

I am by far no kernel hacker or driver specialist.  This is way out of
my league.  I just wanted to see if anyone was working on porting these
to FreeBSD or if anyone out here in FreeBSD land had even heard of it.
I hadn't before today...  Playing Wolfenstein on the laptop would be
nice! :)

I look forward to any discussion on these drivers and an effort to port
to FreeBSD.
