I've ported VOGLE to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 [vogle == Very Ordinary Graphics
Library E(?)].  The authors have an extension called VOGL that implements
SOME of 
the SGI's GL language in VOGLE.  I haven't gotten VOGL to compile cleanly.

VOGLE has drivers for X11, postscript, tek401x and some other devices.

Ask archie about vogle
