Rotating the UCS is very quick and easy.  UCS, OB, (pick line).  Draw with ortho on.  .... 


That will serve for the specific situation in the OP's question [perpendicular from a Line], as well as to draw perpendicular from a Polyline line segment or a Circle at the given point.  But not for an Arc, Polyline arc segment, Ellipse, or Spline, any of which (pf) can handle.  Also, in addition to not needing to play with the UCS, (pf) is totally unaffected by whether or not Ortho is on.  And the UCS approach can't be used if you want to use something like this in mid-command [e.g. within a Line or Move or Copy or whatever command], because you'd have to get out of the command to change the UCS.
