You can try Global Arrays (GA) that probably provide one-sided
communication abstractions that you need:
http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/docs/global/ga.html.

Unlike other facilities, GA firmly rejects idea of polling, and 
therefore, one-sided communication is truly one-sided. GA allows 
applications to use message-passing as well, and there are interfaces
to ScaLAPACK and other libraries. GA is used for production code 
development at Pacific Northwest Laboratory.

A release of GA that works with MPI should be available in
a month or two from now.
