I think the best option here would be to do something similar with the display 
drivers as is done with the resoultions - ie. specify 3 or 4 in XF86Config-4, 
and get X to try them in order.  So for an nvidia card you could have...

Driver "nvidia" "nv" "vesa"

It would try the non-free driver first, then the 2D one, and fall back to vesa 
if neither are available.

Obviously this would require a patch to X...
