Hello,
I also have this video card.

Converting my last FC machine to Gentoo since it didn't survive an FC2
to FC4 upgrade.
Questions:
1) Is the VIDEO_CARDS= setting in /etc/make.conf still considered the
right way to configure a new machine for a specific card?
Yes it is the right way but only used by the x11-drm package.
If you want dri to work you also have to emerge xorg with the
'insecure-drivers' USE flag. That's right, the dri drivers for this video
card are considered insecure...
2) If the answer to #1 is yes then what's the right setting for a 3D
Rage Pro? (I.e. - where's the list of legal names?)
The 3D Rage Pro has uses a mach64 chip so the right setting is
VIDEO_CARDS="mach64".
Finally, here is my video card section in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "3D Rage Pro 215GP"
ChipSet "ati"
ChipId 0x4750
ChipRev 0x5c
Option "backingstore"
EndSection
