You can do groups in beangrow and if the accounts are used exclusively for the same group I think you can specify them both and compute the returns over the joint set. I'd have to look at it again it's been forever.
I do something like irr, it's just a little newton search or something. Check out the source code for detail, it's just a few lines of code. All the complexity in that project is over defining and extracting the right cash flows from a beancount stream of directives.
