I had this problem three months ago and I used the realflow plugins in order to get my point from xsi to Max. You can export (cache) your point cloud in bin format and import it back in max using the plugin that's available in pflow. Remember to set the padding correctly when reading in Max though otherwise particles won't show up.
You can download them for free on the nextlimit website.
