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.
