Sort of. In Tiger, it's possible to have rendering performed on the  
GPU, although my understanding is this feature is not turned on by  
default. But I'm not aware of color management transforms being  
performed within the GPU in Tiger. I'm not sure if OpenGL needs to  
know about color management for this to happen, or not.

I don't know anything about this. What I do know is that there is a  
3rd party, ICS, which makes a product called ColorEyes Display, that  
is capable of calibrating and profiling this display. Like the  
manufacturer's "Color Navigator" software, it can apply the  
calibration in the display's LUT. So if they can do it, and it's  
proprietary, then either they've reverse engineered it, or they've  
gotten some kind of documentation from Eizo.
