   Not that I know of.  Troff is an old portrait format formatter.  The GNU groff
   program will let you print the whole document in landscape, but not a single
   page.

You can do it with groff -Tps.  For example

   .de L1
   .br
   .di L1:di
   ..
   .de L2
   .br
   .di
   .ne \\n(dlu+\n(.Vu
   \v'-1v'\X'ps: exec gsave currentpoint 2 copy translate -90 rotate \
   \\n(dl u neg 0 translate neg exch neg exch translate'
   .sp -1
   .mk L1:x
   .ev tmp
   .nf
   .L1:di
   .ev
   .sp |\\n[L1:x]u
   \X'ps: exec grestore'
   .sp -1
   .sp \\n(dlu
   ..
   .sp 2
   .nf
   Some text.
   .L1
   .TS
   tab(&);
   l l.
   A&B
   C&D
   .TE
   .L2
   Some more text.
