You can do a rectangular selection and then choose the move selection tool. Press right mouse button and rotate the rectangle.

You can create a new layer. Use Line tool to draw a closed area. Then use the Magic Wand tool to create the selection. Switch to your previous layer and you have your selection

It's not something that's built in, but there might be a plugin that will do what you want (or a good approximation - see Ivo's comment).
The plugins can be found on the Paint.NET forum plugins board

1You can't split pixels if that's what your asking, a diagonal line will cut through pixels, so it will give you a saw-tooth pattern – Ivo Flipse – 2010-02-09T09:56:35.127
I'm not a Paint.NET user, but as food for thought I'll tell you what I'd do in Photoshop. I'd select a normal (parallel to axis) rectangle, switch to quickmask mode, rotate the quickmask layer 45deg, and switch back. – Stefan Monov – 2010-02-09T11:24:57.693
