I'll confirm this: I also switch between OroborOSX and a traditional X11 setup, with no problems. One thing that I found out by trial and error is that you still have to install the xfree86-rootless package to get OroborOSX-0.8 to run, in spite of the fact that it has its own XDarwin--there's obviously some additional files that it uses over and above those in xfree86-base.
