Untested outside of IE:

CSS:

<style>
p#vert {margin:25px; padding:5px; width:10px; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid black;}
#vert span {display:block;}
</style>

HTML:

<p id="vert">
<span>V</span>
<span>E</span>
<span>R</span>
<span>T</span>
<span>I</span>
<span>C</span>
<span>A</span>
<span>L</span>
</p>

works in Firefox.

-And, for a more 'centered' line-of-text, to p#vert, add this:

text-align:center;

To 'rotate the text 90º', you will probably need javascript...

If you want to rotate the whole thing 90-degrees, including the letters, the only way to do it would be to use an image. (I think CSS-3 may have provisions for text rotation, but who knows when that may actually be implemented and supported by most browsers.)
