I think you may be able to use a motor space warp possibly to twirl the particles? but I have never used it so I don't know how it works.

An alternative may be to 'mesher' a particle system then apply a twist modifier or something similar.

Hi again,

I just found this:

and thought of you.

Good tutorial! Thanks!

The only problem with it is one
he mentions:

"Okay, once you’ve set the scene to render, I’d recommend you go and make a cup of tea, have a bite to eat, do a spot of laundry, rotate your tyres and so on. Because this baby is going to take a hell of a long time to render..."

Hmm.. yeah, I guess so. It was just a starting point then. Maybe you could develop a better method based on Xeno's.
