I doubt it.  Theoretically the Xorg module loader is OS independent.  2D 
drivers from one x86 OS can be used on any other x86 OS.  In theory...  In 
practice, who knows? :-)  I did, briefly, use the 2D open source radeon 
driver from Debian (using xorg 6.9) on FreeBSD over a year ago.  But I've 
never played with the fglrx driver under FreeBSD.
