No, it doesnt.  Actually, the Intel driver going forward currently is
the i915 driver, which is going to be in the next X.Org release, is
apparently secure, is ported to FreeBSD (untested iirc -- I'm setting up
a machine now), and supports i830-i915.  There's been a suggestion that
i915 could be extended to support i810 as well, which would deal with
the security model issues that I suspect are the same on i810 as i830. 
That would be the hardest but perhaps best option.  The alternate route
is to just port the i810 driver as-is.
