I believe that Apple's X11 makes use of the OSX Window Manager which is a user process. So, no, I don't think so. If you read the caveat page when you installed it, it mentioned a few limitations of that sort.
You could of course just use X11 the way it's been available for the last year+, which is to say use it as a separate desktop. You can either terminate The OS X WM and use just the X11 desktop, or cycle between the two.
Well you could use a rooted X11 with XDarwin. But I think he was talking about using X11 prior to the login screen. That isn't possible. The user space has to be running, even if only in the background.
no x11 trys to map itself to perametors set by aqua and the quartz server and if Apples wm isn't present it simpley wont run of course you can download Xdarwin x server and add it to you /usr/x11r6/bin folder and edit startx to refer to it.
