All ports that build XF86 4 should build the wsfb driver. Looking at
src/x11/Xserver/Makefile.common, I believe that is i386, amd64,
macppc, cats, and sgimips. Of those, I think i386, amd64, and cats are
ineligible to use wsfb (since their VGA interfaces do not present a
single memory-mappable framebuffer), but macppc could use it instead
of Xmacppc. I do not know what the framebuffer situation is on
sgimips.
