Works for me with native X11:

% cd multimedia/libva-driver-vdpau/work/.x11-buildlink/include
% ls
EGL                 expat.h             libdrm              va
GL                  expat_external.h    libkms              vdpau
KHR                 fontconfig          libsync.h           xcb
X11                 freetype2           pciaccess.h         xf86drm.h
epoxy               gbm.h               pixman-1            xf86drmMode.h

Your radeon card should be able to use XV, I would just ignore the
vdpau messages.

There is a separate bug about why vdpau is looking for the wrong
backend.
