I've never seen any program offer anything like this.
I'd imagine you'd have to write your own program/script to do it.
What you want, might be problematical if you have alignments
of ORFs with insertions.
E.g. if you had the following three short ORFs:
ATG AAT CGG TAC TAA
ATG ATC GGT ACT TAA
ATG TTC CGA TCC TAA
Clustalw aligns these as:
1 ATGAATCGGTACTAA-
2 ATGA-TCGGTACTTAA
3 ATGTTCCGATCCTAA-
*** ** * ** *
The single insertion in one sequence would mean that you
would then have problems in extracting alignments of 1st,
2nd, 3rd base positions etc.
