Andreas,

I think there is no direct way to tackle this. However it seems feasable to 
use -graph twoway bar- as a workaround. "Stack" your bars "by hand" and 
overlay a scatter with invible markes to label the bars. 

For example to stak bars of v1 and v2 you can proceed like this:

. gen vstack = v1 + v2
. graph twoway 
 (bar vstack xvar) 
 (bar v1 xvar) 
 (sc vstack v1 xvar, mlabel(v2 v1) mlabcolor(white blue) mlabpos(6 6) s(i i))

Hope that helps

uli
