I don't think so. You can run a server process (urxvtd) and then
connect to that with clients, AFAIK, but I'm using it in the regular
way, each window has a separate PID.

It makes no difference whether I start them from a terminal, a menu, a
launcer or a keyboard shortcut - the Xfce session manager just doesn't
seem to "know" they are there at all.

So far I've tried xfce4-terminal, (u)xterm and roxterm, and all of
those register and will launch when the session starts. It seems this
is isolated to (u)rxvt.

Any ideas (other than switching to another terminal emulator, which I
am considering)?
