No. Too much work compared to benefits when there exist nearly working solution.
If you cannot use xrandr modelines you should report the bug bugs.freedesktop.org so it gets fixed before lucid. http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for good xrandr configuration help. The performance problem you point is mostly caused very expensive gnome theme that Ubuntu is using. (A lot of calls exaTrapezoids which is not accelerated by free drivers yet) Problematic code path were specially bad with xserver 1.6 and KMS while 1.7 provides some improved performance for Ubuntu theme.
