Yes:

xpra desktop --exec-wrapper=vglrun fluxbox

This is documented.

This would allow compositing and all that stuff.

All virtual screens used by xpra support compositing (except for --pixel-depth=8).
OpenGL and compositing are not directly related, though many compositing window managers do use OpenGL for performance.
