You don't HAVE to be a Devotee of Orlanth Rex to be tribal king. But the magics of Orlanth Rex are so useful, its probably what you end up serving. You may becime a mere initiate of your other cult and upgrade the Rex for the duration of your stay in power.
That's why folks who are nobles usually end up runnign things-- having Orlanth Adv/Rex from the start really helps the rise to power.
