No. There isn't any way to specify that type of information yet, that's 
why I'm working on the dynamic_transform patch. I wanted to use a method 
that was at least as flexible as ordinary clock-based animation, so I 
didn't want to use splines.

One problem I have yet to figure out how to get around is the "trapping" 
of particles inside the environment object...maybe transforming 
particles within a certain distance of the object (close enough to be 
considered "on" it) along with the object, and modifying their velocity 
will work.

Oops! Well, my version in progress supports radius, mass, and 
temperature as well as age, velocity, and position.
