Yes, unless you have a Hades or Milan which use normal NE2000-cards.

Mesa has already been ported, but I don't think it supports any
OpenGL-hardware. If it doesn't then it doesn't make much sense in using
it.

Write the boot-strap code, write the 68k-emulator, possibly port MiNT
to PPC (or run it on the emulator), write drivers for fVDI (unless you stick
with ATI Rage), write hardware-drivers for MiNT... More than enough ;-)
