This may be possible with a combination of synchronous triggering and actor messages. It is however no easy task and would probably take someone a few days of work to even try and make a usable system.

The idea would be to send the placement actor a rotation command via triggers based on response to player mouse events. You could also trigger the entire build system but lag is a major problem then (due to the game having to synchronize mouse input).
