libglvnd is the "GL Vendor-Neutral Dispatch library" [0]. It provides libGL, libGLESv1_CM, libGLESv2, etc, and then dispatches those calls to the underlying hardware driver. This allows a single libGL.so to work for Mesa and nvidia-drivers for example. If media-libs/raspberrypi-userland doesn't support libglvnd (which it doesn't as far as I can tell) that kind of throws a wrench in the plan for IMO minimal benefit.
