I think the point of portrait mode is to gain vertical size when column width is less important. I occasionally use portrait mode in Xpdf, and while I can't see myself using it too often in the browser, I'd love to have the option!

Options are great

The X server has a -screen option which let's us specify rotation, I wonder if some kind of hackish workaround could make it possible to gain portrait mode in all applications without any serious modification.
