For testing purposes, you could potentially format 2 netbsd ffs partitions with labels of Modular and Monolithic.

Thanks Shep, that was my impression also, that things could possibly go down the drain.
Theoretically it would be ideal to be able to keep 2 different installations of X.org on the same system with all depending libraries, with choice which one to run, but it doesn't seem that developers of X have provided such a possibility.
