No, we'd basically need to write an OSMesa "state tracker" for
gallium. It's on my long-term to-do list, but pretty low priority.

In terms of core OpenGL, you could use framebuffer objects to do
off-screen rendering. But you'll still need some method of creating a
rendering context, etc. Since you don't have an X server, GLX is out.
EGL is the next logical choice but I don't think anyone's
implemented a "dumb" EGL which doesn't use the window system at all.
I'm afraid I don't know of any simple solution to your problem at this
time.
