I have working DRI accel using modesetting+glamor using the patches in 
this CFT.  here is my working poudriere ports list i build against if it 
helps:

x11/xorg
x11/dri3proto
x11-servers/xorg-server
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions
emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod
graphics/libdrm
graphics/mesa-demos
www/chromium


interestingly enough - chromium now works with this setup as well - 
where before i was having lots of crashes and rendering issues with that 
pkg.

IIRC the issue you are seeing was due to my libdrm not being built 
against the updated xorg.
