The closest that I can think of is one of the cylindrical cameras.
Take a look at camera{cylinder 4, The_rest_of_your_camera_definition}
horizontal cylinder, viewpoint moves along the cylinder's axis

All rays are perpendicular to the axis of the camera like an orthographic 
projection, but are spread around the axis, like in perspective.
