Yes, of course since MANOVA, MANCOVA, and the T^2 (a special case of MANOVA) tests are just special cases of multivariate regression. The mulreg module in NTSYSpc can perform those analyses with a phylogenetic covariance matrix taken into account. One does, however, need to code a matrix of independent variables to correspond to the desired experimental design.
