It's not even that hard to do:

gtk_label_set_angle ()
void                gtk_label_set_angle                 (GtkLabel *label,
                                                         gdouble angle);

Sets the angle of rotation for the label. An angle of 90 reads from from
bottom to top, an angle of 270, from top to bottom. The angle setting
for the label is ignored if the label is selectable, wrapped, or
ellipsized.

      * label :	a GtkLabel
      * angle : the angle that the baseline of the label makes with the
        horizontal, in degrees, measured counterclockwise

Since 2.6

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-angle

It could be an option in the Orage plugin. "Rotate text with vertical
panels", or something like that.
