Your question is a bit vague, but the mclust package might be what 
you're looking for. From ?Mclust:

      Clustering via EM initialized by hierarchical clustering for
      parameterized Gaussian mixture models. The number of clusters and
      the clustering model is chosen to maximize the BIC.
