I'm not exactly sure what solaris does in this regard, but I believe
they use dri. At least, Alan Coopersmith landed a bunch of patches in
mesa to get it to work on solaris. I'm not really sure how mac handles
glx, either, but it's done in xquartz.

Anyone else, I don't know if they actually use GLX with Xorg. You can
still do software GL in X with the mesa xlib driver. I think it just
fakes the GLX interactions. The server is never involved at all
(beyond normal X rendering) and isn't required to support GLX in that
case.
