Yep, but it only a suggestion. The xinit application was designed to be run by a logged in end user, with both an attached tty/pty and a $HOME environment variable. It was not intented to be run by an rc(8) script at initialization time.
Like BSDfan666, I would recommend xdm. It is highly configurable, and designed for this purpose.
