Prior to the recent xorg update I had both /dev/agpart and acpi_video working. This required pulling down a driver from FreeBSD 7 as the two bits of functionality were mutually exclusive and I needed both. See the freebsd-x11 archives for what I did. If you don't need acpi_video the /dev/agpart was working prior to the recent xorg updated. This was with a ports updated on 2009 Jan 21 23:31 UTC. I've not been game enough to try the recent xorg update. I think I'll let the FreeBSD 7 users work out their problems then when they appear to be stable I'll try a upgrade.
