Partner has a lovely if somewhat older Samsung 173P display.

Now using it as a second monitor with the iMac is fine. But it is a
pivot display. Is there any way of invoking portrait mode under Snow
Leopard? Obviously the ideal would be full automatic pivot by turning
the display. Second best would be a simple way of telling OSX to treat
it as a portrait monitor.

Couldn't find anything for OSX on the Samsung website. Any suggestions?

In system preferences, hold down command-option and click display
control panel. You should get a rotation drop down

Only if the video card supports it.
