PortletController are Portlet subclasses that are specialized to build the layout strategy (ie the way portlets are organized on the page). Since they are Portlets, they can (and the default ones do) use a templating system like Velocity to control the controller view. PortletController classes should also provide a customizer suited to their layout strategy.
So if you to need to reimplement a completely new layout strategy (ex, free-floating stackable portlets with an x,y coordinate and a z-order) you'll need to write a brand new PortletController and customizer suited to the task. If you want to rewrite the customizer for the default multi-column controller you can simply change the controller customizer Action class. If you just want to customize the screen apperance of the controller or customizer, simply edit or copy the vm templates and modify them to suit your needs.
