Yeah, using the --crtc option. With xrandr --verbose you can see which CRTCs an
output can use.

Not sure how xvattr could be expected to affect anything but XVideo.

Some random ideas: All other things being equal, the driver could synchronize
to the CRTC of the primary output, which can be changed using xrandr --primary.
Or if that's not good enough, we could add special RandR properties for this.
