Yes, you can use it in portrait mode (3:4 instead of 4:3).  How you
configure it would probably depend on your video card.  I have never
done it, but I have seen than xrandr has an option for rotating the
screen (it fails to work on any of my machine, I assume the
drivers/cards I have don't support it).

I have been thinking about replacing my old pair of 15 inch LCDs
(1024x768) with 2 of those 20 inch Dell panels rotated 90 degrees
(1050x1680).  It would be about 4x the screen real estate I have now,
and could nearly be divided into 4 4:3 areas.
