It looks to me like you don't have working dri/drm. You have to have 
direct rendering working before you can get beryl working. AFAIK, drm 
support for your chipset is not available in 6.1-RELEASE, and the drm 
module is what provides the agpgart device.

sys/dev/drm/drm_pciids.h on 6-STABLE from about February shows this:

#define i915_PCI_IDS \
         {0x8086, 0x3577, 0, "Intel i830M GMCH"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x2562, 0, "Intel i845G GMCH"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x3582, 0, "Intel i852GM/i855GM GMCH"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x2572, 0, "Intel i865G GMCH"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x2582, 0, "Intel i915G"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x2592, 0, "Intel i915GM"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x2772, 0, "Intel i945G"}, \
         {0x8086, 0x27A2, 0, "Intel i945GM"}, \
         {0, 0, 0, NULL}

So you have to have the i915 module loaded to use this chipset. Though 
the i915 driver was ported for 6.1-RELEASE there was no Makefile 
included, and it never really worked until after 6.2-RELEASE. 
Personally, I'm tracking 6-STABLE and I've had drm working with an i845G 
  since February of this year when anholt MFC'd a load of i915 drm 
changes. See this log for more info:
