Hmm! Do you know about Tim Nikias' site. He wrote a suit of macros. One 
of them ye describes thus:
A set of macros to sample the surface of an object. Useful for 
surface-dependant effects like snow, moss, dust, hair, etc.

I've not used that one but his Liquid-Surface-Simulation-Macros work a 
treat.
