There's a program Jurg Ott wrote called ASSOC which I think would do what you
want, though power is limited when you have multiple alleles and few subjects.
We wrote a program just for comparing cases with controls as in an association
study but I think your talking about marker-marker disequilibrium. Let me know
if you have trouble finding ASSOC and I'll try and dig out more details.
