This isn't a conclusive test, but I created a /var/run/nologin, and my test showed that xdm(1) is no respecter of /var/run/nologin, and I would think that it's no respecter of /etc/login.conf. The expression login.conf never appears in the xdm(1) manpage. Have you made xdm(1) read login.conf(5)? How so?
