Exactly this. A rack, once set up, takes four little bolts to uninstall, then reinstall. Many good, racy aluminum Cyclocross bikes have rack capabilities. While i don't know much on the caadx to say one way or the other, i do know that most can handle it.
But, to be honest, I'd go more touring or endurance road that can fit at least 32 tires. Not a big fan of the high bb on cross bikes.
