Yes, most Radeon will allow rotation depending upon the OS. I don't  
think rotation was available in MacOS 9.x. On early OS X versions  
there was an ATI utility called "ATI Displays 4.5.7" that had the  
"rotate" option within. In later versions of OS X (Tiger for certain,  
perhaps Panther also?), the rotate function was available within the  
System Preferences>Displays preference pane if you had a Radeon card  
installed.

I normally was using a little nicer Radeon card, a flashed PC Radeon  
9100 that was the equivalent of a PCI Mac Radeon 8500. I believe the  
cheaper Radeon 7000 also had this rotation function, but I rarely used  
it. If you're using OS X and get a Radeon card, you can enable Quartz  
Extreme with PCI Extreme 3.1 available at MacUpdate.
