You don't need a tensioner to use single speed or internally geared hub
with vertical dropouts. You can use a ghost chainring - an old granny
chainring will do the trick. Google the term to find some pictures.
http://www.mtbr.com/ssfaqcrx.aspx#ssConversionsChainTension has useful
information on various ways to tension a single speed, including the
ghost chainring.

Oops, I see that Jim has said why verticals are considered better for
geared bikes. But I guess I'd trade those advantages for the ability
to change over to a single cog or internal gear hub without using a
tensioner.
