Hmmmm. You are using the svga version, I presume? That need to run suid.
Perhaps you should just make a suid wrapper on an ext2 filesystem?
The perlsec manpage gives the following:

           #define REAL_PATH "/path/to/program"
           main(ac, av)
               char **av;
           {
               execv(REAL_PATH, av);
           }

If you compile that and setuid-root it, it should be an effective wrapper 
to the Quake2 binary.
