Yes. The system Xclients is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit. As you will see
it is rather unnecessarily complex. However, if you create your own
.Xclients (note the dot at the front) it will override the system version.
I expect you are getting the error because your .Xclients hasn't got
executable permissions set. Do something like:
chmod 755 .Xclients
or
chmod u+x .Xclients
or some suitable executable permissions.
Good luck
