Mapfile/Creating Vector Symbols on-the-fly...

I'm wondering if it's possible to create vector symbols on-the-fly
within the mapfile using data source values? Here's what I'm after I've
got some data that has to do with wireless signals. I've got a lat/long,
and azimuth, and a beam width. I'd like to be able to create these
points a triangles pointing in the right direction based on it's azimuth
and also have them with different widths on the big side of the triangle
that would be based on the beam width. Does anyone know if this is
possible? If I can't do it with symbols would I have to create polygons
in my spatial database to accomplish it? Thanks.
