Well, this is my day to be out of date. First, the G5's shipped and I didn't know it, and they shipped with...a screen rotation option. (DOH!!)
Thanks to Darcy and encouraging me to look at ATI. The new G5's have the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro as an option, and that graphics card includes ATI's "VERSAVISION" which includes display rotation. MacNN has this article:
Oh, cool!

This is hardly as versatile as MacPortrait or Pivot Pro, in that it is tied to a specific graphics card, but it does mean I probably now can let go of OS9 when the time is right.
If it is technically possible, I suspect ATI will be adding this feature to the drivers for all of their video cards. They have been absolutely first-rate at updating the drivers for the full range of their products. They may want to keep this a 9800 exclusive for a little while, to help spur sales of this new retail product. But if it's doable, they will probably eventually bring the feature to the complete line of Radeon cards.
