I disagree that a post-hoc power analysis is ever a good idea (see
http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~rlenth/Power/ for more on this)

instead I recommend looking at the CI's and seeing whether anything of
substantive interest is included in the CI; if yes, you have
insufficient power; if no, I see no problem

We did a competing risks regression and found that the HR for the variable of interest was non-significant and the reviewers (reasonably) asked for a post-hoc power analysis to provide support for our conclusion. There is no competing risk model specific power calculation which appears to be available, though I didn't know if one of the other power commands could be modified to accommodate competing events, or if a user-written program existed (I couldn't find one with the search function). Thanks.
