Yes. You can use xrandr to set different modes on different monitors.
for example:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050

You also can config in xorg.conf, for example:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation 945G Integrated Graphics
Controller"
        Driver          "intel"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option          "monitor-VGA"   "foo"
        Option          "monitor-LVDS"  "lvds"
        Option          "DRI" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "foo"
        Option "PreferredMode"  "1024x768"
	Option "RightOf" "lvds"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "lvds"
         Option "PreferredMode"  "1024x768"
	Option          "Position" "0 0"
EndSection

Someone else also complain this. See bug #10814.
