Yes. Fill the left/right slots from your edit template like this:

  <metal:override fill-slot="column_one_slot" />
  <metal:override fill-slot="column_two_slot" />

This enables you to "turn off" the slots from a template, thus eliminating  
the need to create a folder to do it.

The search box should end up as a portlet eventually, but right now it's a  
bit of a bastard child. :)
