You mean changing the screen saver depending on which Powerdevil profile is in effect? If so, this is not directly supported at this time, but it is possible with a little bit of work, involving manual scripting.

Screensaver: System Settings -> Desktop -> Screen Saver.
Power settings: System Settings -> Advanced -> Power Management.

As for making those two interact, see bcooksley's post.

Oh snap, that reminds me; I haven't filed a bug regarding this yet.

It should be somewhere in the menu, the exact location depends on what distro you are using. You can always load it from terminal:

Or press Alt-F2 and type "System Settings". If you use Kickoff, it should already be in your favorites.
