My xinitrc script knows how many monitors are active, but I don't know
how to pass that to Xmonad on startup. Is there a facility to pass

Not via parameters; this has annoyed me a few times in the past, and I wonder if there is an opening here for a --user-arg parameter. In the meantime, the trick used by e.g. Fedora's default xmonad configuration is environment variables.
