Actually, I may have misinterpreted your question. You can only have one
Virtual for each subsection, which you would set to the maximum res:

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1152x864-75c"
                    "1024x768-101" 
                    "800x600-81" 
                    "640x480-99"
        ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     1152 864
    EndSubsection

What you may want is a way to turn off panning for all the modes in the
subsection, but I don't see this in the XF86Config man page.
