Yes, that's possible. I think glewinfo will just report it as somewhere between
OK and MISSING if it gets entry points for the functions (though I wonder why
it fails to get entry points for some of the extensions, it should in fact get
entry points for _anything_, I guess that's a glewinfo bug). Do not rely on
that. If the extension is not in the extension string, it is not supported.

I'd guess this page 
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix would be useful, except it's too
old and doesn't list any newer extensions. Anyway, if you really need it for
radeon, try the small patch, unless I'm missing something VBOs should just work
with radeon if enabled (don't expect any performance miracles, as they won't
get buffered on-card or anything, but should be good enough to work). Patch
against mesa git, should apply to somewhat older versions too I guess.
