Not sure when it became available but you can rotate text on a canvas using the -angle option. As for the background, the rectangle option works. Since, in this case, you will have the coordinates for the rectangle, you can translate the four coordinates to match the angle of the text. Not sure at all whether bbox can help you with the rotated stuff.
Tkpath is worth checking out. As I recall, it could rotations before Tk.
