You can figure out the points you want the text to align itself with,
and then find the azimuth between them using the
com.bbn.openmap.proj.GreatCircle class method.

No, none in the OpenMap package itself.

I can see how you would use this in an OMLabeler, but it also seems
like something a specific labeler implementation would use
internally. I think you could put these methods in any
implementation of OMLabeler, or subclass of OMTextLabeler, without
having to add them to the OMLabeler interface itself.
