probably.

Basically, any place that GL_RGBA is accepted, GL_BGRA will also be 
accepted.  So, I'd start with a grep of the sources for GL_RGBA.  Most 
changes should be trivial.

One place that will require more attention is the util/pixel.c file. 
That's where pixel packing/unpacking is done.

state_limits.c and cr_extstring.h will also need updates.
