Or to put it a different way, we already have a VIA graphic chipset
autoconfiguration utility - it's the driver detection code in the X
server. As an added bonus, it works for lots of other chipsets too! :)

As Adam implied, the openchrome maintainer for Fedora, Xavier Bachelot,
is actually also the main upstream developer of openchrome too, so he
would presumably be aware of this issue - perhaps you could email him
(his email address is in the package info) and see what his take is?
