There is a useful option INORB=1 in the $XMCQDPT group
that allows to read SOME converged orbitals from a $VEC
group, and pass immediately to the XMCQDPT computation.
(A complete $VEC including all virtuals must be given).

In particular, the user may read in the same MOs (say,
those resulting from the state-average ALDET CASSCF
calculation) in order to perform separate XMCQDPT runs
for different spin multiplicities (of course, no guarantee
that such a perturbation treatment always makes sense).

Best wishes,

Andrei

Because, if I do all calculations (CASSCF followed by MRPT) for each state separately as state-specific ones, I will get, strongly speaking, different quality of description for different states.
