Yes, it works fine.  I've gone ahead and committed it in the following
form (in src_install):
=================================================
##
# Install the actual drivers --- 'make install' doesn't install them
# anywhere.
dodir /usr/$(get_libdir)/xorg/modules/dri
exeinto /usr/$(get_libdir)/xorg/modules/dri
einfo "Installing drivers to ${EXEDESTTREE}."
find ${S}/lib -name '*_dri.so' | xargs doexe
=================================================

By the way, in local testing, I have noticed that mesa builds fine with
a parallel make, and locally using
====================
 src_compile() {
	make ${CONFIG} ${MAKEOPTS} || die "Build failed"
}
===================
is a timesaver.  I don't know if this works generally, but I have never
had any trouble making libGL in parallel when building it by hand.
