Not with XFree86 unless you write a wsdisplay driver for the leo. Even  
then it will probably need some minor hacking ( for some reason the  
framebuffer device IDs get translated somewhere in the SBus/fb support  
layer, it might miss an entry for the LEO on NetBSD )

I don't know about GL but they definitely support XRENDER.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, it will load display drivers, extensions etc. on startup.

Then you'll have to build your own but I seriously doubt this will save  
a lot in terms of memory footprint size.
