Alas, from: http://dri.sourceforge.net/DRIuserguide.html :

* With XFree86 4.0 and the Direct Rendering Interface (DRI), hardware
* accelerated 3D graphics can be considered a standard feature on Linux
* workstations. Support for other operating systems, such as FreeBSD, is 
* underway. 

Each DRI driver, AFAICT, needs its own accompanying kernel module, and the 
FreeBSD kernel modules just don't exist yet.  Sigh.  I'll keep running 3.3.6
with Utah-GLX for now...
