[Xorg-driver-geode] Latest git snapshot doesn't compile under FreeBSD

I believe you are missing the util-macros package that provides these
variables from a call to a m4 function that it provides named
XORG_RELEASE_VERSION and called in xf86-video-geode configure.in nicely.

util-macros is needed in the modular world for building many X related
packages - they provide the aclocal macros that many of them use, such as
XORG_RELEASE_VERSION in this instance.
