It depends on the OS software that you choose to run.

QtMoko (which uses the Linux framebuffer directly and not X) has 
autorotation.  X-based systems do not, because rotation isn't fully or 
properly implemented in the Xorg drivers for OMAP (or at least, wasn't, 
last time I checked; I hope someone will correct if the situation has 
changed).  Replicant/Android/Mer/Ubuntu/Firefox I don't know.
