Making a pan film look like Ortho film would be easy.  Use channels in PS
and play very heavy handed in the red channel.  Now, making an ortho film
look like a pan film would require you to know where you wanted to go
without knowing what it would look like.  I think I would start with
multiple scans of the same negative with radically different settings to
create the impression that something was where nothing was.

More likely, I would use a color neg film, start with the blue channel, and
use variable opacity in the other channels to mimic ortho films.
