You can create different versions of the layouts for different API versions.
As you can read here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html you can have say the normal folder (/res/layout/
) with the layout for old devices and then another one for the ones that support it: /res/layout-11/
The layout inside layout-v11
will only be applied on devices with android 3.0 and over.
Hope it helps. (UPD: API level changed to 11)
UPDATE
On Android 4.2 This is a native feature :)
