You've got it backwards.  The server rc file is used to start the server, not
for the server to read to configure itself (the latter has already been
suggested for the next release).  This is useful if you want to specific a
bunch of command line arguments every time or to select which server to run if
you have more than one type of display attached to your machine. 

Just create an executable shell script in /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc.
