This would be very useful, depending on the input motor and the reduction there would be significant torque on the bevel gears( if bevel gears were used). It might be difficult to find small enough bevel gears that would be able to take the torque.

How efficient are bevel gears? I've heard worm gears can be quite in-efficient.

I know team 33 made a tutorial on how to modify a versa-planetary and a drill/driver right angle adapter to accomplish this:
