depstar shells out to run the AOT compilation process and that does use clojure.main but there isn't an easy way to pass --report to that subprocess. You can, however, pass :jvm-opts to depstar which will in turn pass them to that subprocess:
:jvm-opts '["-Dclojure.main.report=stderr"]'
depstar itself will write to stdout/stderr:
(! 650)-> clojure -X:jar :jar test.jar :main-class foo.bar :aot true
[main] WARN hf.depstar.uberjar - :aot is not recommended for a 'thin' JAR!
[main] INFO hf.depstar.uberjar - Compiling foo.bar ...
Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at user/eval136 (REPL:1).

Here's the same thing with that JVM option supplied:

Following on from the comments on Alex's answer:
Using -X does execute clojure.main but only for the CLI API stub which then invokes one or more "exec functions". You can't pass --report to it, but you can use the JVM option:
(! 667)-> cat src/thrower.clj
(ns thrower)
(defn bang [_] (throw (ex-info "foo" {})))
(! 668)-> clojure -X thrower/bang
Execution error (ExceptionInfo) at thrower/bang (thrower.clj:3).
foo
