Andy, I can be wrong, I'm no expert too, but density estimation is different of density-model. MClust is a model-basead method because use model statistics from clustering data (more information in ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/mclust/tr415R.pdf).
I need some package that implement algorithms like OPTICIS, DBSCAN or DENCLUE...
