you can't really switch between dualhead and single head on the fly,
but you can use the integrated chip on either the LCD or the CRT port
and then a second adapter in the PCI slot.  just set up two server
layouts in your xorg config and start X with one or the other
depending if you are booting docked or not.  Take a look at the
xinerama howto.
