Theres modified kexts out there for 950GMA, but not for performance and that, more so for resolutions and device-id compatibility.
As for the 950GMA itself under OS X, it's meh. SC2 failed to work (it even said it wasn't compatible, but it said this AFTER patching and installing the whole thing, and even force running it led to mad graphic corruption) Idk how exactly Source games ran under it, but whatever game I tested didn't seem to work that well. However, I did notice that if you ran a source game under Crossover or something, it gave better performance then it would with stock drivers, but idk if it was the same as MD though with the software vertex. If someone did try this though, see what mat_info reports about it. But other games like WoW (only tested since 3.x.x), and Diablo 2 worked fine lol. GTA SA (cider) and UT (cider) worked great as well. But back to the modded kext thing, I wonder how (if possible) we could mod it. So far, the 950GMA (no matter what kext/system/real mac/hackintosh) has only 64MB of VRAM avalible reported via System Profiler (and UT2004). And also for GMABooster, I think it does make a difference (there was better results of Xbench before and after clocking). But for modding a kext, I believe we would have to have the source of it available for Xcode, not sure though.
