    Has anyone ported R4 to a TrueColor framebuffer yet?

The R4 cfb code supports all visual classes.  If you want a hack,
you can run a cfb-based server with "-cc 4".

    How about 16 bit pixels?

It should be possible to frob the cfb code for this, although you won't
be able to take advantage of all the 8-bit optimized code.  Most of
the colormap code in cfb is pretty generic, although you'll have to
massage the static visual definitions a bit.
