Well, there is no package, but there is inbuilt functionality.  Look at
loglin, and Bill Venables' formula-driven interface to it, loglm in
package MASS.

I'm not sure what exactly you are attributing to Goodman, but loglin
does the conventional analysis that I thought well predates his work.
Plackett attributes it to Birch (1963).
