Hello Ludovic. TextSymbolizer can place a label pretty much everywhere from a point using the dx and dy parameters but indeed there is no angle parameter.
But if you really need such feature, you could create a new datasource from the one you have. With a point and an angle and a little bit of math you can create 2 points and make a linestring out of it. Then displaying your label on this linestring will give you the result you're searching. This is probably a lot of work, but I don't have any better solution for now.

We are actually using Mapguide OS as rendering system but i'm convinced Mapnik could bring us many benefits even if the job is quite heavy. I am now facing 2 problems with labels and points placement: Each label placement is defined in national database as fields : X, Y position given in maps units and ANGLE given in degrees. In the same way point placement is also defined with ANGLE field. TextSymbolizer and PointSymbolizer do not seem to have a POSITION and ANGLE option. Is there a solution? Would these options will be added in the near future. It could be a great improvement.
