It's not ccp4, but I've successfully used MultiSeq in VMD to make a
1-dimensional tree from a large group of conformations. Though like you
mention, the big conformational changes might not be handled well in the
STAMP alignment of that package.

ProSMART might be more appropriate if you have rigid domains and a flexible
connecting region, as it uses local structural alignments so keeps hinged
movements from having a disproportionate impact on the alignment.
