How about something like 'X :1 -query machinename' where machinename is the name of your machine. Incidentally, you can control who is allowed to start the X server by editing the first line of the /etc/X11/Xserver file. The '-query' option tells the server to send an XDMCP 'query' message to the xdm on the specified machine, asking that xdm to manage the display. If you want to start an X session on another machine you can use the same command. Alternatively you can get xdm to start two servers by adding another line to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. You will need to specify that the second server is display :1, and you will probably also need to tell the servers explicitly which VT to start on; there is a known race condition when two servers start simultaneously.
