Start 2 X sessions, one normal, one rotated? No problem, gin up another
xorg.conf and call it xorg.conf.rotated. Edit your ?dm's config file so
that :0 is started with "X -nolisten tcp" like normal, and :1 is started
with "X -nolisten tcp -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.rotated" . This is
?dm-specific. I don't know whether or how well it'll work, though.

You don't mean simultaneously, do you?

I think this is exactly what he meant.

I know
how to specify a different X config file. But if I flip the screen, I
still have to restart X, don't I?

You can have two (actually as many as you want) X session
running at the same time.
