Both BioPerl and transeq from EMBOSS will translate IUPAC codes, but
for degenerated sequences you will get X as an aminoacid not a
specific one. So if your stretch of degenerate nucleotides is not too
long you may generate a fasta file with actg nucleotides only,
translate it using transeq, then count frequencies of aminoacids at a
given position.
