There are drainage holes to allow any interstitial condensation which occurs within the frame to drain, AFAIK. I'd be more concerned that the hinges may not be designed to carry the weight of the opening sash if used in another orientation. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be able to answer more constructively....
