Eventually found a solution. In the view's constructor:
UIWindow window = UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow;
UIView view = window.Subviews[0];
view.RemoveFromSuperview();
window.AddSubview(view);
And provided the view has this:
public override bool ShouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation
(UIInterfaceOrientation toInterfaceOrientation)
{
return toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeLeft
|| toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeRight;
}
It will force rotation as expected, and then you just have to handle the
WillRotate and move your controls (if designed in Portrait layout). I found
another solution that used transformations, but it didn't rotate the
NavigationBar - this actually seems to trick the phone into thinking it's
rotated - even the simulator rotates when it loads.

It can be done, but it is a bit difficult.
You will have to apply rotations to the view.
