I was having the same problem for my oldie matroxg200 and a new kernel version (but i don't remember what version :+) that agpgart wasn't automatically loaded. Then for that kernel I compiled agpgart inside the kernel, enabled the DRI interface but no DRM moduels compiled at all, or just as modules, after that I emerged the lastest xfree-drm (-r6 maybe?), modprobe mga (in your case radeon maybe) after rebooting with the new kernel with agpgart compiled in, and xfree was working again.
I haven't this problem with recent (gs-sources/pfeifer-sources/2.6) kernels. But I was playing with my girlfriend nforce2 (ABIT Nforce2 + serialata) so this is where my experience on this area comes, (maybe is a problem loading the agpgart on this chipset, don't know at all) compiled in agpgart, worked fine.
