At the moment the multiple comparisons features in R are a bit limited.

   p.adjust does a number of corrections of p-values that are very general

   pairwise.t.test is another interface to these same methods

   TukeyHSD provides Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference

help.search("comparison") suggests that the npmc package might also be
helpful.
