Can the 3.5 EB intake be rotated to position the throttlebody over the back of the motor?

I don't think it's possible without major modifications.
The tstat housing is incorporated into it.

Certainly an interesting question.

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone having presented this question before, or even having considered completing such a mod.

Glock's correct in the tstat housing and having to factor that into the equation.

May I ask what could possibly be the point of undertaking and/or performing such a mod?

Trying to free up some room to install something else perhaps??

A common mod on the yamaha v6 when installed into a rwd setup.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

cut the intake runners in the middle and then weld them back together, rotating the base with the top. I don't know what you're going to do for room for the TB though... :)
