If you are talking about options passed to brew install emacs-plus, then it was never possible as brew doesn't support non-flag options for formulas (at least to my understanding). Even more, there was never an option to pick toolkit. See #759.

If needed, you can locally modify formula using brew edit emacs-plus (mind the version) and just add necessary options before system "./configure", *args, just make sure you are doing it in the correct block (i.e. in non-cocoa section).

I am not using Linux for many years, so not sure if there is any consensus regarding x-toolkit, and I also lack knowledge to make educated decision regarding options design to support Linux users.
