Multiple xdm sessions at once

Linux users are able to have multiple sessions by using the virtual terminals to run multiple display managers, as I understand it.

So my question is: can FreeBSD do the same by modifying /etc/ttys?

For example, the entries look like this:

Code: 
ttyv1   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure
ttyv2   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure
ttyv3   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure
ttyv4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
.

You should have posted this in the X-Windows forum, not here in General (although a moderator will probably move it for you).

But to answer your question: yes that's possible. It's all in the Handbook.
