There's some support for OpenGL ES in MythTV, but it requires a Qt built 
with OpenGL ES support.

That said, OpenGL (of any form) as a video renderer will require 
software/CPU decode--something that's extremely unlikely to be possible 
with your CPU.

MythTV has no support for OpenMAX, which is what you probably want/need.
