Are you referring to the sort of thing decsribed, for example,  in

  http://statbel.fgov.be/studies/cal2002d.pdf

and

  http://statbel.fgov.be/studies/cal_en.asp

?

If so, then you may find useful things in Thomas Lumley's
"survey" package, though I'm not expert enough to judge how
extensively it covers this area.

The PDF reference above gives a general mathemtical formulation
which looks as though a solution could be implemented in R as
an optimisation problem.

In any case, it would help if you would describe your problem
in more specific terms!

Best wishes,
Ted.
