immediate maybe not, but once you have computed interatomic force
constants in real space (code q2r.x), you can calculate a phonon
DOS using code matdyn.x. Among the examples for the phonon code
there is a DOS calculation. There is also the PlotPhon package
in PlotPhon/ (but it is not currently maintained)
