Perhaps -clustermat- is what you are looking for?
Also, the FAQ (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/mata/matsize.html)
In Stata, can I use Mata matrices that are larger than Stata's matsize?
How can I perform clustermat on a Mata matrix?
How can I send clustermat a matrix larger than the currently set matsize?
might be helpful.

> Hello there,

> Is it possible to use STATA for cluster analysis of a distance matrix?
> I know you can use STATA to cluster analyse cases with respect to a set
> of variables - distances here are created as part of STATAs "cluster"
> command. However, how do I cluster analyse data that are already given
> in the form of a distance matrix? (SPSS can do this, but crashes when
> the distance matrix is larger than about 10,000 by 10,000.)

> I'd be grateful for any tips.
