No you don't.

You have your real hardware that's doing 3D (or at least in "native" mode 
running X), and you have your VM which emulates a completely separate virtual 
graphics card for the virtual machine.

PCI devices are always owned exclusively by a single virtual machine.
Even if you did come up with a design that was virtualization capable, that 
virtualization would most likely be done at a higher level, with basic VGA 
emulation done by the VM.
