Not AFAIK. Mesa is targetted at X specifically. This has the
advantage the client program doesn't need direct access to the
hardware. In theory one could write a GLX type thing to fool
Mesa but you still need the hardware support, which sadly to
say is completely missing.
XFree 4.0 will support video cards as loadable modules.

That would immediately fix the hardware support problem.

Well, that's an interesting problem. AFAIK Mesa is the only
OpenGL-like implementation available and it only targets X.
Maybe you could try to make Mesa work in DGA mode in X. If you
*really* want to avoid X, I would say there is no solution
available right now.
I wonder how GGI relates to OpenGL.
