I'm not sure what you want:
1. specify the guest resolution from the spice client, so that when connecting the guest will change resolution to that specified? Then David is right, there is no method to do that (patches welcome :)
2. change the guest resolution from the guest before client connection, via some other method (i.e. from inside the guest) - that is possible for linux/windows via the specific OS/window system api. For X you can use xrandr utility. You can look at the agents as examples of code that does that.
