try Mesa http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html - it compiles and works
fine under FreeBSD (... ok some small things you have to do ...) - we
(mostly satoshi) are working on a port

p.s.: if you get floatingpoint-exeptions from some of the demos and samples
- insert an #include <floatingpoint.h> and a fpsetmask(0); into main - or
the in my opinion better way - apply the following patch to your kernel and
recompile it (... hint to bruce - don't forget to bring it into the tree :-)

description: this patch changes the behaviour of FreeBSD at floating point
execptions to a more widely used (less floating point exeptions - only 53
bit precision)
todo: copy sys/i386/include/npx.h to /usr/include/machine too, rebuild kernel
