Well, once you said you were on a Mac, I KNEW your Maya version is the "Complete" version, rather than the "Unlimited" version, as Alias has not made an "Unlimited" version for the Mac as of yet..

(plus, the PLE is only available as "Complete" so... anyhoo...)

Sadly, the PLE version of Maya is just like the "Complete" version meaning advanced tools such as Fluids, Fur, Live and Cloth are not available to you user added image

In your case, might I suggest checking out the docs regarding:
"Soft Bodies".

Simply put, you could group/parent Dynamic Fields to your object, and with those, effect the particles of a softbody plane for a make-shift wake.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Good luck!
