Open GL APIs in DirectX
No, but your Windows operating system and DirectX9 graphics card no doubt supports OpenGL as well...

Dear guys/gals
Is it possible to use OpenGl APIs in DirectX 9.0?
You can render with OpenGL and use DirectX for input and sound. Are you talking about using Direct3D and OpenGL at the same time? No.

If you need to use hardware features that aren't avaliable through D3D you have to use OpenGL (With extensions for said features unless they are a part of the core API), or wait until Microsoft decides to include those features in a DX version. (With OpenGL the hardware manufacturer is free to add their own features themselves)
Rewriting the renderer shouldn't be too hard.
