On my 2.5 SOHC 2010, as long as the CRANK was in the timing belt service position I could safely rotate the cams as much as I wanted. The service position puts all of the pistons out of harms way from the valves. I definitely had to turn the cams when installing the T-belt in order to allow enough clearance to get everything to fit. Check out the thread I made on my t-belt install for some notes on the order that I installed it.
Be careful with your fingers around the drivers CAM as it will be prone to slipping off the top of the cam lobe and suddenly turning.
If you have DOHC, this may not apply as you might get valve-valve interference.
