Yes. Basically, you replace { setlogin(), setgid(), initgroups() and
setuid() } with setusercontext().

It depends on where and how you've started xdm. If you do it (like
most) from /etc/rc.local, then it is getting the "daemon" tagged
resources, as that is what init starts /etc/rc with.
One way you can fix this is to modify the daemon entry directly.
But you could instead try (from /etc/rc.local):
limits -C xuser /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm [args]
(replace 'xuser' with whatever entry you wish).
Modifying xdm is on my login_cap todo list, but of course
this may take some time to filter into an XFree release.
