For a typical port to unix/Xorg, you'd only need to port the DRM (which is the kernel component) and that's about it. However Syllable doesn't use Xorg so stuff that's usually setup in the DDX will have to be done by your current 2D driver. Also, your 2D driver will have to cooperate with the 3D driver nicely, which is not always given.
You may want to talk with the BeOS/Haiku guys, I think they considered doing the same at some point, not sure if they tried however.
