As I understand it, the answer to the above questions is yes. I've never
tried it myself, though.

Probably the most straightforward thing to do is configure the
xserver-xfree86 package using the debconf interface. Just select the
"glide" driver.
If xserver-xfree86 is already installed on such a box, just do:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Selection of the driver module will be a high priority question.
