Not that I can see. And I don't think there were any takers for this
question last time round either...
Suggestion:
If you have a dependant variable that can be transformed to make its
distribution symmetric, then modelling the mean is damn close to modelling
the median - the geometric mean of a lognormal distribution should be
roundabout its median for instance. Once you can get a symmetric
transformation, you can apply -svy- methods.
