To my knowledge there isn't any off-the-shelf utility for this. But it wouldn't be that hard to create the symbol with some auxiliary function:

pro circle,x,y,RADIUS=radius
;compute circle

;plot circle
polyfill, pattern=pattern

end

then loop over the data points in your plot and call this procedure each time. It's ugly and probably slow if you have a lot of data --- but if you have a lot of data, then plotting a pattern like this is gonna be costly anyway.
