Is it possible to create a complex, non single plane cross section in Acrobat 3D toolkit? For example remove 1/4 of a cylinder.

No. The only possible configuration for the cutting plane is a 'single per 3D view'.

If you want to create a cut-away view like you are describing you will need to do that in the CAD program using 3D Boolean operations to subtract geometry using a block that intersects your 3D model. Import the new cutaway model into PDF after saving the results.
