In the week that this email has spent in cyber-limbo I have since found 
out that this is probably an "r300" based board and that support is 
experimental.  I haven't gotten "experimental" support working yet but I 
did fool the kernel into intializing the drm interface by adding my 
card's ID in drm_pciids.h. I now have the following in dmesg:

drm0: <ATI Radeon RX300-test> port 0xa000-0xa0ff mem 
0xd1000000-0xd100ffff,0xc8000000-0xcfffffff irq 24 at device 0.0 on pci2
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.11.0 20020828 on minor 0

Later,
Micah
