I received a number of responses to my question:

The answer is:

Yes, use something like:

        % openwin -dev /dev/{insert-favorite-framebuffer-1...}
               -dev /dev/{insert-favorite-framebuffer-0...} {left, right, top, bottom}

Further information on the topic can indeed be found in:

        `man xnews'.

Thanks to all who replied.
