Not at the moment as the X_DRIVER_OPTIONs are global....

Not that it's a bad idea, just that it hasn't been set up that way. 

If you want to try some hacking, the major script for starting X is
packages/xcommon/etc/init.d/x and it probably wouldn't be too hard to
add a loop looking at the SESSION_x parameters to look for
SESSION_x_X_DRIVER_OPTIONS and override the globals for that session....
(eg. look at packages/nx/init.d/nx.init).

The only issue I see is knowing which session kicked off x (as it's not
passed).
