Yes, it is possible to select an alternative XAML view in .NET MAUI depending on whether the device is in a landscape or portrait orientation. This can be achieved using DataTriggers and the VisualStateManager.

Here is an example XAML code that demonstrates how to change the view based on the device's orientation:

<ContentPage ...>
    <ContentPage.VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
        <VisualStateGroup x:Name="OrientationStates">
            <VisualState x:Name="Portrait">
                <Setter Property="Content" Value="{Binding PortraitView}" />
            </VisualState>
            <VisualState x:Name="Landscape">
                <Setter Property="Content" Value="{Binding LandscapeView}" />
            </VisualState>
        </VisualStateGroup>
    </ContentPage.VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</ContentPage>

In this example, the Content property of the ContentPage is bound to the current orientation's view using DataTriggers. The appropriate view is selected based on the current orientation state. The PortraitView and LandscapeView properties should be defined in the ViewModel and should contain the appropriate XAML views for each orientation.

Note that this code is just an example and may need to be adapted to your specific use case.
