It depends on how your clustered objects are stored.

As written here: http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cluster.html

The function *cluster.stats() *in the
*fpc<http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fpc/index.html>
* package provides a mechanism for comparing the similarity of two cluster
solutions using a variety of validation criteria (Hubert's gamma
coefficient, the Dunn index and the corrected rand index)

I see there is no mention of this topic (of the comparison of clustering
solutions) on the clustering task views (
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Cluster.html), I hope it would get
extended in the future.


Best,
Tal
