I wouldn't.  Unless you also have NVidia and Radeon cards too on your machine
you do not all these entries.

Try this in your /etc/make.conf:

  VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"

Then rebuild your xorg drivers and mesa. Finally run 'eselect mesa list' to
see if you are using gallium or not.  Adjust accordingly.

Unless it changed recently, you would need to add the mesa module name for
your card too.
