Yes.

1> Create TWO 'Section InputDevice'; each using the same driver, but
with a different name (Identifier) and the appropriate options.
2> Create TWO 'Section ServerLayout'; using the same parameters except
for InputDevice and Identifier.

The first ServerLayout in your config file will be the one used by
default.  You can invoke the alternative with 'startx -- -layout
OtherServerLayoutIdentifier'

I'm attaching an XF86Config file that I use on our limited computing
devices where I work; you'll see this very same thing going on in this
config so that developers can use touchscreen/mouse and vesa/accel
drivers wy simply using a -layout option on the command line.
