Do you mean "tecnically impossible to achieve it directly using an R postscript device"? Because it is certainly possible to have a PostScript document in which some pages are portrait and some are landscape. And -- with appropriate DSC comments at the right places in the file -- these can be viewed correctly (i.e. the text always horizontal) using standard PS viewers; and they can be correctly converted to PDF to be viewed likewise. I could follow this up privately if anyone is interested: the details would not be appropriate for posting to the list!
