No, there will not be an update to Mesa 2.4 for the followign reasons:

1. Mesa 2.4 has broken assembler routines (missed some files, broken
   detection in configure script etc.);
2. Mesa 2.4 is incompatible with utah-glx, therefore upgrade would make this
   port broken;
3. XFree86 4.0.2 uses only glut and GLU libraries from Mesa, they are
   contributes software for Mesa and do not change very much from release
   to release, so update would buy very little for XFree86 4.0.2 users.
