I've asked the same question recently (answer still pending I guess ;)) but it
seems desirable on the long run, anyway, to have an open-source solution.
Perhaps the OpenBIOS project has a working VGA BIOS ?

Well, I guess you can do it any way you want. My idea would be to make an
I/O interface for configuration and do the rest through shared memory.
You can probably couple this directly to DRI/DGA/MITSHM, but that wouldn't
be portable..

You need to write a new GUI backend (user/plugins/bochs/gui/*).
VMWare uses DGA IIRC, or have a look at DOSEMU for a different solution.
