It's in there someplace. I've never built it.

The virtual framebuffer server has no drivers. It's a virtual
X-server. You can probably run it in the background while you're
running XFree86 though.

It's not a driver, it's a separate server. If you want an app to
connect to that one instead you set the DISPLAY environment variable.
If instead, you want a single X-server with two screens - one
in hardware and one on virtual hardware you should probably look
into the vnc module that Alan mentioned earlier in this thread.
