Thanks!  That patch worked.  A .rej file was created... I'm not sure if
that's important or not?  I can provide the contents if you need them.

DRI isn't extremely important to me.  Getting a working mga_hal_drv.o is
much more important however... otherwise I can't use the DVI output on
the graphics card.  I realize now, that's not really a FreeBSD amd64
problem though.
