It doesn't really need vesafb for anything. Back in the days of 2.6.7 I used to release a version of bootsplash that had the dep. on vesafb removed. It worked fine with at least some other fb drivers. You might also want to save yourself some work and try out an alternative solution called fbsplash [1], which I designed after I got tired of fixing bootsplash and which I actively maintain. Fbsplash provides virtually the same functionality, and it has as much code as possible moved into userspace (no more JPEG decoders in the kernel).
