 I doubt that very much. I've tried to port an X.org driver to XFree86
 about two years ago and it proved to very difficult. Since then
 XFree86 and X.org have diverged even further.
 
 Have you ever tried to load the XFree86 USB tablet driver with an
 X.org server? That could work if you are lucky.
 
        Kind regards
