I haven't tried but I figure if you can rotate the desktop then some emulators will stay rotated.  If you can get the emulator to stay in the desktop resolution then I reckon you'd be fine.  Some emulators insist on switching resolutions tho, which might cause a problem.

Easiest thing to do is try a few out...

There's a hardwre rotation faq i started in teh stickies list.  As others have said consoles don't rotate (duh). Sometimes you can do it with a hardware rotation though or just use MESS for your emulator.
