As DJWoodgate says, use Tformnormal ...

Speed# = .5

	If Mx <> 0 Or Mz <> 0
		;move relative to camera
		TFormNormal Mx, 0, Mz , CAMERApivot , 0
		TranslateEntity CUBE, TFormedX() * Speed , 0, TFormedZ() * Speed
		;turn relative to movement
		PositionEntity TARGET, EntityX( CUBE ) + TFormedX() , 0, EntityZ( CUBE ) + TFormedZ()
		TurnEntity CUBE, 0 , DeltaYaw( CUBE, TARGET ) * .25, 0
	EndIf

I doubt that there is another more efficient way. The target pivot is required to obtain orientation relative to the camera - which your always going to need.
