Just as the M3/M4 use the S55 where the C63 uses the M177, the same is likely to hold for the X3M/X4M vs. the GLC63.

AMG doesn't have a six cylinder engine yet (the M276 V6 in the *43 models isn't an AMG-proper engine), but they are working on one (a higher performance version of the new M256 inline six). Once that is complete it is likely to start replacing the lower-output M177 applications in future generation AMG products.
