Yes, it is, type:
vignette("s3d", "scatterplot3d")
and take a look at example on pages 18-19 which is almost the same as
page 14 of
Ligges, U. and Mächler, M. (2003): Scatterplot3d - an R Package for
Visualizing Multivariate Data. Journal of Statistical Software 8 (11),
1-20.
It makes use of the function xyz.convert() that is included in the
returned object from scatterplot3d().

Well just some limited rotation by specifying the angle. If you want
nice interactive rotation of things, I'd recommend package "rgl".
Best wishes,
