You need to make the PS file to be in landscape format. From the dvips
man page:
-t papertype
This sets the paper type to papertype. The paper
type should be defined in one of the configuration
files, along with the appropriate code to select
it. (Currently known types include letter, legal,
ledger, a4, a3, ) You can also specify -t land
scape, which rotates a document by 90 degrees. To
rotate a document whose size is not letter, you can
use the -t option twice, once for the page size,
and once for landscape. The upper left corner of
Furthermore, portland is from LaTeX2.09 (AFAIK) and therefore
obsolete. Use the lscape package (included in the standard graphics
bundle).
Depending on your needs (tables etc.), you could also try the rotating
package.
