hey all, thanks for the pointers!  here's what i had in mind :

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% M. Leingang rotation/inversion
\usepackage{rotating}% provides a rotate environment
\newcommand{\rotxc}[1]{\begin{sideways}#1\end{sideways}}
\newcommand{\invert}[1]{\rotxc{\rotxc{#1}}}
\begin{document}

imagine a page here with left, top, right, bottom marked :

\begin{tabular}{|ccc|}\hline
L & T & R \\
   & B &   \\\hline
\end{tabular}

rotate 180$^\circ$ about $y$-axis

\begin{tabular}{|ccc|}\hline
\reflectbox{R} & \reflectbox{T} & \reflectbox{L} \\
                & \reflectbox{B} &                \\\hline
\end{tabular}

combine operations :

\begin{tabular}{|ccc|}\hline
                & \reflectbox{\rotatebox[origin=c]{180}{B}} & 
\\
\reflectbox{\rotatebox[origin=c]{180}{L}} & 
\reflectbox{\rotatebox[origin=c]{180}{T}} & 
\reflectbox{\rotatebox[origin=c]{180}{R}} \\\hline
\end{tabular}

cool!  thanks Matthew, Martin, Edsko, Phil  -- especially Rupert Swarbrick 
for pointing to p.57 in the Comprehensive Latex Symbol List!
