Sure, do following steps:
1. Download, install and start current beta of 3.5
2. Write at begining of your scene
    #include "transforms.inc"
3. Call macro in object modifiers list of your object:
    Axis_Rotate_Trans(Axis, Angle)

If you not use 3.5 then look at http://enphilistor.users4.50megs.com/macs.htm
There is macro AxisRotate - afaik result is the same.
