I tried it:
setxkbmap -keycodes "xfree86" -types "default" -symbols "en_US(pc105)+de" -geometry "pc(pc102)"
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Error loading new keyboard description

- From my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

setxkbmap -v 9 de
Setting verbose level to 9
locale is C
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
