Yes, why not? 3Dfx have built-in VBE3.0 support in BIOS. And AFAIK
Allegro supports this protected mode API. 

Or are you saying you want to use the accellerated functions in your 
program directly? Look for Linux's SvgaLib. It supports several new 
cards and accellerated functions. Don't know about Voodoo3, but it's 
crap anyway. I have one and talk from experience.
