Not currently, but we haven't even got modular integrated yet.  I've
been leaving that up to the guys that have been working on that
integration, and I'm hoping to take more of a role in FreeBSD stuff once
modular actually gets into the tree.

First of all, if you're just starting Xorg, you shouldn't be having any
issues related to your 3D driver.  You can put Option "AIGLX" "Disable"
in the ServerFlags section of xorg.conf to make sure, by not loading the
i915 module at all.

On intel hardware, bus_dma-ification shouldn't do anything as far as
correctness goes -- you don't have any IOMMU to make bus !=3D phys.
However, the new code does probe aperture and GTT sizes differently
(more correctly) on some hardware compared to previous releases.  It
could result in strange issues if your AGP driver doesn't probe things
the same way.

To tell any more, though, I'd need a xorg log with ModeDebug enabled
(with the fs mounted sync, if you're experiencing a full system hang,
which I couldn't tell) and a xorg.conf, probably.
