One again, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the agpgart module was in infact loaded before X was started. Since this is not my problem does any one else have any idea why AGP is failing to initialize?
Here's the relevent clip from the XFree86.0.log:

drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
