You can do that in the controller. For example my website looks the same except for a few pages. One of them is the login page. In the SiteController I have declared the actionLogin like this:

/**
 * Displays the login page
 */
public function actionLogin()
{
    $this->layout = '//layouts/simple';
    $model=new LoginForm;

    // if it is ajax validation request
    if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='login-form')
    {
        echo CActiveForm::validate($model);
        Yii::app()->end();
    }
    // collect user input data
    if(isset($_POST['LoginForm']))
    {
        $model->attributes=$_POST['LoginForm'];
        // validate user input and redirect to the previous page if valid
        if($model->validate() && $model->login())
        //$this->redirect(Yii::app()->user->returnUrl);
        $this->redirect(array('/'));
    }
    // display the login form
    $this->render('login',array('model'=>$model));
}

The line $this->layout = '//layouts/simple'; overwrites the default layout (main) with the simple layout. If different controllers use different layouts you can also make this a controller wide change by declaring the variable in the controller 

public $layout='//layouts/column2';
