You will need to compile X from the latest ports/x11/XFree86.
The following configuration works for me:

: Section "Device"
:     Identifier	"i810"
:     Option	"no_accel"
: EndSection
: 
: Section "Screen"
:     Driver	"svga"
:     Device	"i810"
:     Monitor	"Samtron 75P+"
:     Subsection "Display"
: 	Depth	16
: 	Modes   "800x600" "640x480"
:     EndSubsection
:     Subsection	"Display"
: 	Depth	8
: 	Modes	"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
:     EndSubsection
:     Subsection "Display"
: 	Depth   24
: 	Modes   "640x480"
:     EndSubsection
: EndSection

Note the "no_accel" option -- it is prerequisite.

There is also a work-in-progress on native AGP drivers for FreeBSD.
Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org> has plans to continue a work on i810
driver after Usenix.
