Notice that the DRI drivers don't do anything like mode setting and such, they depend on the X drivers for that. So if you take away the X driver, you will not be able to get anything outputed on your monitor. Unless you use the fbdev drivers for example. Did you investigate the Berlin project, which, if i am not wrong, uses OpenGL for drawing, and aims to be a X reemplacement. Not that it is anything near that point though.
