Yes. Use the -ori xxx command-line option to rotate plots by arbitrary angles. xxx=1. corresponds to a 90 deg rotation. Note, there is a long-standing bug in this functionality (see the "Parallelogram problem for rotation" in the PROBLEMS file) for non-integral xxx and aspect ratio different from unity. I suspect that deep inside the PLplot core there is a confusion between x and y coordinate scales (which doesn't matter, of course, for unity aspect ratio) when doing a rotation causing rectangles to be turned into parallelograms, but none of the core developers have ever been able to figure out the source of the problem, and xxx = 0, 1, 2, or 3 certainly works correctly.
