You might be interested in Nick Winter's -survwgt-

"Description

survwgt creates sets of weights for replication-based variance estimation
techniques for survey data. These include balanced repeated replication (BRR)
and several version of the survey jackknife (JK*). These replication methods are
alternates to the Taylor series linearization methods used by Stata's svy-based
commands.

In addition, survwgt performs poststratification, raking, and non-response
adjustments to survey weights."
