If your GPU is supported use the Intel driver, if not, there's only vesa(4).

If you want to know which driver your system is actually using read /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It shows exactly what's detected and what works (or not).

It's included by default because it's used as a fallback in case your specific card isn't detected automatically. If you really want to get rid of it you'll need to rebuild the x11-drivers/xorg-drivers port and deselect VESA. After that it will be removed with pkg-autoremove(8).
