Threads have been enabled for libGL since XFree86 4.0 if I recall 
correctly.  I know you used a workaround in the qt2 port to get it to link 
with libGL correctly.  It's very annoying, but can be fixed with one 
simple #define.

As far as BIC issues, The only thing that it really changes is libGL no 
longer uses pthread functions for storing thread specific data.
