It has several.  It is strange you did not want to know what they are, but
for the sake of others who may be intrigued:

See script ch16 in MASS for bivariate mixtures.
See package mclust of multivariate normal mixtures.
See package flexmix for mixtures of regression models.
See package mda for use in discriminant analysis.

Also packages fpc, moc, nor1mix, wle (and maybe more).
