Not in 5.8 Beta_Refresh:

bash-2.03$ man Xsun |grep xinerama
Reformatting page.  Please Wait... done
bash-2.03$ 

But, I think he's looking for this section:

             The Xsun server also supports the format used by the
             X11R6  sample  X Server. Multiple screen systems are
             specified by using the following syntax on the  com-
             mand line:

                  -dev <device 1>:<device 2>:...:<device n>

             The server uses device 1 as screen 0,  device  2  as
             screen  1, etc., and the server assumes that screens
             are  ordered  left  to  right  in  ascending  screen
             number.   This  means  that the cursor moves off the
             right side of screen n and onto  the  left  side  of
             screen  n  +  1.  When this format is used, no other
             -dev options are valid.
