There is newer Mesa in xorg-dev. See the instructions at http://miwi.bsdcrew.de/2011/02/cft-xorg-7-5-miwi1-freebsd-edition/ There is a rat nest of the system dependencies and ddx/xorg server versions that makes the update really tricky. Until GEMified i915.ko is not committed to the src/, the Intel GPUs will not work, I believe. Also, it seems that Mesa 7.11 is the last release that will work for Radeon DRM that lacks TTM and execution support.
