I've got a Dell 1708FP in portrait mode attached to my MacBook Air. I'm not sure that all versions of Mac OS X and all video cards support rotation, however. But if the card does support it, just use the Rotate popup menu in the Displays system preference pane.
(And yes, I once owned a Radius Pivot or three.)
