Theoretically it is possible. And there is a few ways to achieve it.
As you know each portlet is a separate application, but noone stoping you to use portlet as a 'view' (from MVC pattern). If you look at the problem from such point of view, you can externalize your business logic into separate layer (EJB for instance) and use different portlets to display different views. It doesn't sound bad, but I wouldn't go this root. Now let check portlet specs, and pay some attention to the point that portlet can be present more than once on the same page. Frankly speaking you can add your portlet instance more than once on the same page. So you can use a single portlet to render different views. It does sound a bit better, but you will face a few challanges while implementing this approach. At the end I would suggest you to stick to conventional way if you want your application to be portable. P.S. Hope I understood you right.
