Yes it is the right way but only used by the x11-drm package.

If you want dri to work you also have to emerge xorg with the 
'insecure-drivers' USE flag. That's right, the dri drivers for this video 
card are considered insecure...

The 3D Rage Pro has uses a mach64 chip so the right setting is 
VIDEO_CARDS="mach64".

Finally, here is my video card section in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
         Identifier      "Card0"
         Driver          "ati"
         VendorName      "ATI"
         BoardName       "3D Rage Pro 215GP"
         ChipSet         "ati"
         ChipId          0x4750
         ChipRev         0x5c
         Option          "backingstore"
EndSection
