While I don't believe there is any .local version of Xsetup_0, I myself put pkill xconsole in my .xsession to rid myself of the xconsole once i login. That way I see the xconsole on boot, then can transition to a root-tail after login. This doesn't prevent it from starting up with xdm of course, so if your problem is that you don't want it showing up on the login screen I can only think modifying Xsetup_0 and merging changes via sysmerge is the way to go.
