If it works for Arpi with his mga_vid - then yes ;)

Why framebuffer?
radeon_vid doesn't require radeonfb to be loaded.
It can be loaded from text mode.

Well. If you will expand this stuff - also it would be better to say that:
radeon_vid (I sure that mga_vid too) is standalone driver and doesn't require
any other graphics related things (like radeonfb and matroxfb correspondetly). 
IT'S SIGNIFICANT for vo_vesa that radeon_vid must be loaded from text mode only,
since after terminating mplayer vesa bios will activate text-mode #03 (at least on
radeons). And if console is based for example on radeonfb driver then only thing
will be need after that - it's rebooting PC.

Please insert it before "NOTE:" string

Best regards! Nick
