So you'll have the main window in portrait mode, and there is a
possibility that a dialog in non-portrait mode appear?

I'm not a expert in usability, but this would be confusing for me, and
it would force me to rotate 90 degrees the device in order to read
properly the dialog.

There isn't any possibility to support the portrait mode in the
dialog?

Try with a 0 instead of ~HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT.
