In OpenStep you just do:

PSgsave();
PSrotate(-90);
/* do the text */
PSgrestore();

last time I tried this in GNUstep it did not work because the text drawing
code didnt handle rotates and scales. There was once a patch which made
this work proprly, but it was never committed.

After the recent (and very enlightening) thread on images I am inclined
to think it might work in back-art though. But I have not had time to try
it myself yet.
