WordSmith Tools (not free) has a Cluster function which takes a corpus and 
outputs word clusters based on co-occurence statistics. 
http://www.lexically.net/wordsmith/
Version 4, while still in beta, can be used freely for about a month. 
Wordsmith can be used also with annotated corpora (it can ignore or use tags).

The freeware AntConc program has a similar function for outputting word 
clusters.

And here's a further list of links to some similar programs:

Hope this helps,
