VirtualBox allows you to specify custom video modes in the BIOS. Search for CustomVideoMode in the virtual box user manual.
So you basically need to add custom video modes (for portrait resolutions).Once you set up custom video mode(s), you can append vga=ask at the end of the kernel command line for grub when booting android. It will list all available modes including the ones you added. Select one of them and android should show up in portrait mode. Once you are happy with the resolution, just change append vga=NNN(whatever the mode number is) to your grub configuration on disk to make that persistent.

I am also quite interested in this. Have you been able to work out the actual emulator with android-x86? The original emulator gives a lot of functionalities like call emulation and so forth.

I am a developer. Recently i found that android-x86 can be used to
debug program which is extremely fast compared to the normal emulator.
the only downside though
is it's by default in landscape mode. Is there anyway that we can
rotate the screen so that it appears as potrait?
i am using QEMU and VirtualBox.
The debugging appears to be lighting fast. I think this can be used to
replace the default Emulator and should be developed
further to have the capabilities to act as a replacement.
