Define "easily".
For exmaple, you can place labels with
plot i.10
pd 'textc 100 20 asdf'
pd 'show'
and adjust values of 100 and 20 appropriately. It will even preserve relative
position if you scale your form a little bit. Not sure how to do rotation,
though.
BTW, do not be too bent on generating everything with J. You can save properly
resized plot into bmp and then edit category names there the way you want. If
your categories are same all the time and only data changes -- save the
bottom portion of your plot into another bmp and use it with subsequent plot
of same size and layout.

Reading 90 degrees rotated text on x axis is also unnatural to many people.
There is no best solution, you have to make some hard choices here.
