I have done something like this using aggregation. Could this help ?

db.foo.insert({ timestamp: '1371798000000', propName: 'page_fans', propValue: 100})
db.foo.insert({ timestamp: '1371798000000', propName: 'page_posts', propValue: 25})
db.foo.insert({ timestamp: '1371798000000', propName: 'page_stories', propValue: 50})

db.foo.aggregate({ $group: { _id: '$timestamp', result: { $push: { 'propName': '$propName', 'propValue': '$propValue' } }}})

{
    "result" : [
        {
            "_id" : "1371798000000",
            "result" : [
                {
                    "propName" : "page_fans",
                    "propValue" : 100
                },
                {
                    "propName" : "page_posts",
                    "propValue" : 50
                },
                {
                    "propName" : "page_stories",
                    "propValue" : 25
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    "ok" : 1
}

You may want to use $sum operator along the way. See here
