  Wrong list: this is a question for R-help, not R-devel. I don't know 
if they apply, but you might find something useful in the 'vegan' package
(permanova, adonis) although I don't know if they apply to your case.

  (I also hope you have a large data set, at least hundreds of data points.)

  If that doesn't work, please try your question again on R-help.
