There is a post hoc test along the lines of the Kruskal-Wallis test.
It is implemented on the help page of oneway_test from package coin.
The authors of the package, Hothorn, Hornik, van de Wiel, and
Zeileis, cite Hollander and Wolfe (1999) for details and say it is
called the NemenyiDDamico-Wolfe-Dunn test.
Or see nparcomp function in package nparcomp.
There is also a post hoc test for the situation where a Friedman test
has been done, and that is seen on the help page for SymmetryTests in
package coin: the Wilcoxon-Nemenyi-McDonald-Thompson test:

There is also an option of using the MTP function in the multtest
package.
