On Linux, you can construct an OpenGL context without an X server on any system supporting kernel mode-setting (KMS) and EGL. This includes the open-source radeon, intel and nouveau drivers and, soon, the closed-source radeon drivers. The OpenTK library has had support for this for a couple of years, see [1] for the implementation.
