Yes, you can have either multiple APKs, or you can have a single APK that delivers its layout based on the version of Android being used.
For the multiple APK support of the market, see here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/multiple-apk-support-in-android-market.html And for the logic behind delivering one layout for xlarge screens vs. smaller sizes, a good app source cose to look at is the Google IO app: http://code.google.com/p/iosched/source/browse/ A good activity to start with is the ActivityHelper.java file in the util directory.
