No. The stuff in /usr/X11 is specific to Mountain Lion, but is not to be used. If a process loads any of the binaries from /usr/X11, it is terminated and a dialog is presented to the user instructing them to install XQuartz. So, those binaries are there specifically to help the user transition from an OS-supplied X11 to XQuartz.
