Just some thoughts without testing:

1. What if you put the higher resolution as first entry in XF86Config,
shouldn't it be ignored if you use the internal display?

2. How about creating two different XF86Config files and writing a
little script that probes the state of the external port
and creates a symlink to the appropriate XF86Config file depending on
the ports state?
Probing could be done with tpctl --sdc or something like that and a good
grepping of the output.
Shouldn't that work?
