\definesymbol[whatever][something which is expanded at the time of invocation
\newcount\angle % dangerous command, better use MyAngle or so
\expanded
{\definesymbol
[star \number\angle]
[\noexpand\uniqueMPgraphic{drawstar}{rotation=\number\angle}]
\advance\angle by 6
\expanded
{\definesymbol
[star \number\angle]
[\noexpand\uniqueMPgraphic{drawstar}{rotation=\number\angle}]
ugly but needed
