Just to be sure - you are saying that if I have a .xinitrc this will be
used and if I delete it or rename it the default will be used.
Correct

You may have a previous installation of X11 or XDarwin with a
pre-existing ~/.xinitrc. The first time you launch X11.app after
installation, it will ask whether to back up your existing ~/.xinitrc
to ~/.xinitrc.old and use the standard /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If you
reply no, it will use your existing~/.xinitrc. If you reply yes, it
will use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (the X11 default).
If neither ~/.xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc are present, X11 for
Mac OS X will use hard coded values that launch an xterm and the
quartz-wm window manager.
How do I modify this behaviour.
IIRC, the only way to do it is to rename or remove the ~/.xinitrc file.
