Sure, try 'startxfce4 -- -multimonitors'

Something like 'startxfce4 -- -screen 0 @1 -screen 1 @2' should be what 
you want there, but xfce doesn't seem to use the 2nd screen window (so 
perhaps some additional configuration to xfce is needed there...)

The options after the double dash are provided to the X server, XWin. 
See 'man XWin' for more details.
