I have the Rage 128 Pro at work, and I had problems with it under 4.1.0. There are some patches out there that I have used to get it to work, but they are far from trivial to patch into the port. But XFree86-4.2.0 works wonderful! Unfortunately the XFree86-4.2.0 port was backed out for the FreeBSD-4.5 release, and hasn't been put back in yet. I do have a tarball of the port if you need it.
