My offer still stands to help work on this using the SciTech SNAP driver 
architecture. We already have a complete OpenGL driver architecture 
working on Linux console modes independantly of X (software right now, 
but we are working on bringing up the Radeon hw driver based on the DRI 
code). It would be real easy to add pbuffer support to our 
implementation, but it would not really be necessary until you need to 
use an offscreen buffer as a texture surface for a blending operation.
