You can modify distribution algorithm such way
sw3550(config)#port-channel load-balance ?
  dst-ip Dst IP Addr
  dst-mac Dst Mac Addr
  src-dst-ip Src XOR Dst IP Addr
  src-dst-mac Src XOR Dst Mac Addr
  src-ip Src IP Addr
  src-mac Src Mac Addr

AFAIK all of this algorithm use XOR-operation for determine outgoing port.
I think is one of reason that only 2, 4, 8 ports can be bundled.
