No.  But a summary of gallium is at 
http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D if you haven't 
seen it already.

The GPU-specific driver code should be written in a manner such that it 
doesn't matter what OS you're running on.  The OS-related things should 
be put into a "winsys" module.  The "winsys" module/layer is intended to 
insulate the GPU driver from the OS-specifics.

Beyond that, I think you'll have to ask more specific questions.

No.

I expect any potential differences would wind up in the winsys module 
mentioned above.
