Take a look at how compiz works: it registers both the window management
and compositing interfaces, the X server renders client windows to
offscreen bitmaps and delivers those to the compositor interface, where
compiz receives them and renders them to OpenGL textures. This is much the
same except that rendering is to OS X native windows; the DDX is the local
X server.
