I'm not a x window manager expert, but perhaps there's a way using
xnest (which is included with Mac OS X) to run multiple X11 sessions
with a window manager in one and the native quartz (rootless x) window
manager in the primary display.

What about an xdm session?

Got this Sun box that I'd like to be presented the xdm-style login on
my mac system. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
Pretty sure it has something to do with the XDMCP protocol, but the
Apple X11 doesn't seem to have any option on which host to query.
I used to be able to do this back on windows with any competant X
server such as Exodus or X-Win32. There was an option on which xdmcp
server to query but i'm lost with Apple's X11.app
This has to be possible somehow, but i'm not sure. I guess there's
that price to be paid for having a rootless x server, but this hint
breathes new hope for this desire of mine to not need one of those
annoying sun monitors :)

Check out these options to Xnest ...
-query host-name contact named host for XDMCP
-broadcast broadcast for XDMCP
-indirect host-name contact named host for indirect XDMCP
If you do 'Xnest -h', you'll see that there's heaps of options, many
of which aren't in the man page.
My guess is that Xnest can do what the person wants --
