You can do at least three ways:
1. make the decision in the controller and render one of two views with
render :template => ''path_to/template''
2. make the decision in a template and render one of two partials
<% if @event.starttime < Time.now %>
<%= render :partial => ''past_event'' %>
<% else %>
<%= render :partial => ''future_event'' %>
<% end %>
3. As you said, make the decision in the template and put all
rendering in the one file.
Personally, I''d probably go with #2.
