If you render the maya particles in mental ray(maya 2008 and above) you can get the volume particles with self shadow.......

If u have particle shape render type to cloud then play with particle cloud shader(animate noise ) or try to make shader from fluid container with static density.
and then render particle with turn on cast shadow and receive shadow in particle render stats.
