Yes! The workstation I am using right now has two displays. It's a pretty stock X consortium release running on a pretty stock 4.3tahoe on a pretty stock MicroVAX-III (this is MIT, nothing is completely standard issue :-). The machine has two QDSS interfaces with displays attached, each is an independant display (unix:0.0 and unix:1.0). Right now there are two different people logged in.
