Yes, you need to include the xf86-modesetting driver and set the 
following in your xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
         Identifier      "gma500"
         Driver                "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "gma500 Screen"
         Device          "gma500"
EndSection

I think that should be all you need. Let me know if you run into 
problems with that.
