It's actually a quite simple procedure to have tilt and shift in the same direction. All you need to do is to remove the 4 screws at the bottom, rotate 90 degrees (just check carefully which direction, otherwise you'd rip off the internal cables) and reapply the screws. The only important thing is to have the right tools, so you don't ruin the screws.
The way Canon solved this on the TS-E II lenses is certainly something Nikon should also consider for upgraded models of the PC-E lenses.

Thank you Markus. Now Nikon PC-E 24mm f3.5 appears to be more attractive to me than the Zeiss 21mm f2.8, since it can do a lot of things that my 16-35mm f4 cannot do and according to various sources it has also a superb IQ. It is more expensive than the Zeiss but considering its unique functions and also good optical and mechanical qualities it is worth to pay the extra money.
I would love to see a review of Nikon PC-E 24mm f3.5 at PZ some day but I guess the chance is very small.
