I find it the rotation won't show up in the DVI file, but will once you 
convert the DVI file into a PS file.  But that's another story.

When I need to generate a PS file in R I always do something like:
  postscript("foo.eps", height = 6.9, width = 6.6,
             horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, print.it = FALSE)
  plot(1:10)
  dev.off()
then in my LaTeX file do something like:
  \begin{figure}[h!]
    \centering
    \begin{center}
      \includegraphics[width = .8\textwidth]{foo.eps}
    \end{center}
    \caption{My Caption}
    \label{fig:foo}
  \end{figure}
