Sorry if there's a simple answer I overlooked.
Nope. You just have to open a new window of the same folder in List view, or shift back and forth between Column and List.
Or you can download
PathFinder, a Finder replacement which I believe does do this.
You can bet that this ability (and much more) will be in the Pather Finder. It's a very common request, and I expect Apple will find an elegant way of implementing it.
