R help - Jun 2011 - k-nn hierarchical clustering

Hi there,

is there any R-function for k-nearest neighbour agglomerative hierarchical
clustering?
By this I mean standard agglomerative hierarchical clustering as in hclust 
or agnes, but with the k-nearest neighbour distance between clusters used 
on the higher levels where there are at least k>1 distances between two 
clusters (single linkage is 1-nearest neighbour clustering)?

Best regards,
Christian
