I have asked for this some years ago and did not got a positive hint.
To my knowledge this has not changed since then.

Brian Ripley proposed to use the 'rpart' algorithm for discretization.
I think I applied the RELIEF-F method at that time  and also wrote a
simplified Fayyad-Irani function on my own.

For RELIEF and other distretizing functions see the 'dprep' package.
On CRAN there is only a version for Linux available, for Windows see
the 'dprep' home page <http://math.uprm.edu/~edgar/dprep.html>.
(But: I have not tried it out with R 2.9.0 !)
