There is *no* reason to make the layout portrait-only. If you have one layout, just put it in layout/ and leave it at that. If there are other restrictions globally on the kinds of screens your device will work on then express that elsewhere (setting a forced screen orientation, saying you don't support normal/large screens, etc).
