I'm not sure why this sentence mentions the configuration file at all.

Currently this reads:

"It may be convenient to specify server options with startx to change
on a per-session basis the default color depth, the server’s notion
of the number of dots-per-inch the display device presents, or take
advantage of a different server layout, as permitted by the Xorg (1)
server and specified in the xorg.conf(5) file."

I'm not sure how xorg.conf tells you anything useful about server
options you can supply via startx?

I think it's trying to say that you can specify multiple ServerLayout sections in xorg.conf, and specify a startx/xinit/Xorg command line option to specify which one to use. Do XWin & XQuartz have anything similar or should that
sentence just be reworked to better fit them?

Yeah, there's no analogy to ServerLayout in XQuartz ... we just inherit the layout from the system.
