Already there - see the -fbdir option in the man page:
OPTIONS
-fbdir framebuffer-directory
This option specifies the directory in which the memory
mapped files containing the framebuffer memory should be
created. See FILES. This option only exists on
machines that have the mmap and msync system calls.
FILES
The following files are created if the -fbdir option is
given.
framebuffer-directory/Xvfb_screen<n>
Memory mapped file containing screen n's framebuffer
memory, one file per screen. The file is in xwd format.
Thus, taking a full-screen snapshot can be done with a
file copy command, and the resulting snapshot will even
contain the cursor image.
