An answer is through GRASS:

http://www.baylor.edu/~grass/statsgrasslist.html

from which the package described in Computers & Geosciences (2000), 26,
pp. 1043-1052, may be accessed. There is a mailing-list too, and more
progress is described in work with Markus Neteler, who is coordinating
GRASS 5.0 development. The current package is GRASS_0.1-4, and is at:

http://reclus.nhh.no/gc00/GRASS/GRASS_0.1-4.tar.gz

Please contact me if this may be helpful - the package is under
development, and needs user feedback!

Best wishes,

Roger
