You can map a key to "Rotate", but I suspect it just rotates counterclockwise by 90 degrees each time (I haven't tried it). You can't map a key to a particular orientation as far as I can see. It also depends on whether an application is programed to use the system key mapping. Some do, some don't.
You can define a system preference for orientation (one of "Automatic" or each of the four fixed directions). I find that most apps obey the system "Automatic Orientation" setting and switch orientation using the G-sensor automatically. So if you want a particular orientation, you just turn the device that way et voila!
