The newer pre-release of 1.4.0 (available from www.svgalib.org) contain a
rage driver that works on RagePro cards.

With rage driver should be real easy to support any PCI/AGP Mach64 cards
with internal DAC (CT or newer). Even for older cards, the rage.c driver
should be a better bet than the old mach64 driver, since it supports the
newer features of svgalib.
