If there were a canned function for power for a non-parametric test, I
would not trust it. This is because there are many assumptions that would
need to be made and I would not know if those in a canned function were
reasonable for my study.
I would compute power by simulation. Simulate data sets that match what
you think the real data will/may look like, analyze the simulated datasets
and see what proportion give significant results (that will be your power).
You can do this for different sets of assumptions to get a feel for how
the different assumptions affect your results. This way you know exactly
what assumptions you are making to get your power.
