yes there is a way, but its blocked by default by purpose. (which also means that I won't publish how to in this forum).

I understand there must be a reason for it and sharing that reason with intelligent people probably won't kill anyone.

reason is that some applications have hardcoded coordinates/layout in it and they are screwed on that orientation. If you really want to use reverse orientations you can just look component gallery sources on gitorious (you can download the example from developer mode menu).
Its not a secret, but its disabled so that all applications would work. And its really stupid usability wise anyway.
guillermorojaz: you only asked if its possible or not, you didn't ask how to on original question. So the question deserved yes/no answer.

Opera web browser rotates all the sides. Up-Down, Down-Up, Left-Right, Right-Left.
So, it can be done, on the app side.

It's not a restriction in the OS, it's a restriction set by Nokia in Harmattan, through a config file.

Well, the rotations are available to developers, you just have to request them in apps (although the landscape>inv.landscape and portrait>inv.portrait animations became horribly broken for qml apps in PR1.2).
I quite like the UX decision that apps don't go all the way round though because otherwise it would limit the vitally important lying-down-in-bed usecase. (or you'd need a system-wise rotation lock switch)
