Emulating a CROSS-TABULATION Query in Oracle

Microsoft database and ad-hoc query tools provide a cross-tabulation query which effectively denormalizes selected data - for example, by attaching table DBA_SEGMENTS to a Microsoft Access database, it is possible to define a cross-tab query which shows segment types in rows and tablespaces in columns, where the intersection displays the number of segments of each particular type in each tablespace. Is there any Oracle SQL query which can emulate this capability? The query should not assume anything about the particular types of objects and tablespaces in the database.
