You might be in luck if you have IDL Version 4. Here is an extract
from the online help:

SPH_SCAT
The SPH_SCAT function performs spherical gridding. Scattered samples on
the surface of a sphere are interpolated to a regular grid. This routine
is a convenient interface to the spherical gridding and interpolation
provided by TRIANGULATE and TRIGRID. The returned value of the function
is a regularly-interpolated grid.

I have not tried this yet.
