is there a specific/appropriate function/package to perform post hoc tests

that will be equivalent to the 'TukeyHSD()' for between subjects anova (with
'aov()'). For one way repeated measures anova, the 'pairwise.t.test()'
function seems to work correctly but the results are questionable for two+
way anovas, as if the adjustment of the p values for multiple comparisons
was not correct.

Classical repeated measurement has fallen a bit out of favor, because mixed
models as in lme (package nlme) and lmer(package lme4) are MUCH more flexible
and in general more stable when data are missing.

And don't forget generalized least squares (gls in nlme) which has the same advantages using only fixed effects.

So I recommend to switch to lme (better documented, currently), and use

as a starter when trying to do multiple comparisons.
