If with portrait mode you mean a screen that scans vertically rather
than horizontally (as when taking an ordinary screen and rotating it),
no, that is not supported in the current version.

The arbitrary resolution can, however, support horizontally scanned
portrait mode, e.g. "MENU RESOLUTION 480 640".
