Unfortunately (at least in Stata 8) qreg does not allow a -cluster- option.
I am wondering why - is there some theoretical reason for this or is it
simply a matter of nobody having provided the code for it in -qreg- ?

One way to deal with clustering, I believe, is to bootstrap your standard 
errors using the cluster option (for info, just type "help bs").
