Depends on what you mean by "near future".
Take a look at point 267 at
http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/develsnaps/changelog-4.3.99.8.txt
How near that is depends on how many of Branden's changes will be included
in the 4.4 release, and of course when 4.4 itself is released.
[Also, ATI provides source. That source isn't redistributable, and
comes in an rpm package, and might have x86 dependencies, but it's
source nonetheless.]
