I don't have the answer to your specific question, but I was wondering
whether you would want this to change dynamically?  That is, once 
the page has already been posted, what would you want to happen if 
the reader changes the browser width?  

If you want the layout to change, then wouldn't you necessarily have to
use a javascript solution, because  using PmWiki conditionals to test for
a page variable would require processing by the server and, hence, a 
re-posting?
