It does, just not like that.  Intro(1):

          Many of the graphical programs from Plan 9 are present,
          including sam(1) and acme(1). An X11 window manager rio(1)
          mimics Plan 9's window system, with command windows imple-
          mented by the external program 9term(1). Following the style
          of X Windows, these programs run in new windows rather than
          the one in which they are invoked.  They all take a -W
          option to specify the size and placement of the new window.
          The argument is one of widthxheight, widthxheight@xmin,xmax,
          or xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax.

So -W 1865x1150@10,10 or -W 10,10,1875,1160
