As is described in various threads (and hinted to in this one by aaronp), you can get that behavior if you use separate X screens (set the rotate option for the screen for which you want rotation) and then combine the screens to one desktop using Xinerama. Roughly speaking Xinerama and Twinview give a similar end-result. In fact RandR 1.2 is very similar to Twinview.
