David's got a good idea using GridBox. The labels aren't rotated but 
printed in column format:

testmatrix = Table[Hue[Random[]], {60}, {60}];
idlist = Table[{
     i - 0.5, DisplayForm[
           GridBox[Partition[Join[{Q}, IntegerDigits[1000 + 2i]], 1], \
RowSpacings -> 0]]}, {i, 1, 60}];

Show[Graphics[
       {RasterArray[testmatrix]}],
     AspectRatio -> Automatic,
     Frame -> True,
     FrameTicks -> {idlist, Automatic, None, None},
     TextStyle -> {FontSize -> 10},
     ImageSize -> 800];

Thanks,
Carsten
