Did Mike use again Philip Glass North Star in Pacha Mama??  
I think yes:

Mike's Pacha Mama (voices)
+
Mike's North Star (instrumental melody)

I have heard Phillip Glass's North Star, and from what I heard it was just vocalists chanting the tune. I didn't hear it all the way through, but it wasn't anything like that. Mike's version is better.

Mmmh... there's something to this, but still...
I think in Pacha Mama the vocalists are just chanting 'ea, ea, ea, ea' while in North Star it's actually 'we are, we are, we are' because, as has been discussed elsewhere on this board, the lyrics no North Star obviously aren't 'eeeeeyaaaaaahooooo' as many, including me, probably think/thought, but actually 'we are home'. Apart from that, the chanting is admittedly quite similar. Still, I'm not sure Mike thought of that when writing Pacha Mama.
And BTW, I think Philip Glass' North Star is great, but it's a typical early Glass minimalist kind of thing, while Mike's version is, well, a typical Mike kind of thing. The two versions don't really have that much in common.
