If you have a monitor that is natively portrait or will support a portrait mode, then you can just define a 768x1024 modeline and assuming the driver doesn't rely on the bios (since I doubt any bios will have a mode like that defined) it will set the mode. However, if the monitor you are trying to use is natively landscape and only supports landscape modes, then you will need to use rotation. None of the Xorg servers support xrandr rotation in 6.8.x, however, several of the drivers have a driver specific "rotate" option that will provide non-accelerated rotation.
