They are needed because for example newest ATI Radeon drivers (xf86-ati-video) depends on those systems, so for example you can get full ATI driver support for Xorg (with 3D acceleration etc).

This would be an Illumos project, Illumos developers are aware of
it but AFAIK so far nobody seems to have volunteered for it.
Are you interested in working on this?
In any case I would suggest you also post to
developer at lists.illumos.org since Illumos developers may not read
this list.
