Yes, this is possible with -xtivreg2- (which I wrote).  It's also possible with Stata's official -xtivreg-, but the syntax is different, as you note, i.e. the -regress- option.

If you have Stata 9, you can simply use Stata's official -xtivreg- with cluster, or -areg- with cluster, to get SEs robust to het. and a.c.  The only reason to use -xtivreg2- is if you want, say, Newey-West-type robust standard errors and the like.

Cheers,
Mark
