I made a similar inquiry a few weeks ago.
Another way to do this is by:
svytab v1 v2, col se
where v2 is you "by" variable.
The proportions are in the e(b) matrix and the standard errors are the
square roots of the diagonal in e(V). These are not dimensioned as one might
expect but the appropriate cells can be extracted using loops.
For reasons I cannot fathom you get different results in these matrixes if
you leave of the "se" - so be careful.

Just to complement Nick's answer. After svymean the results are stored in
e(b) and you can save them in a matrix for further analysis:
tab myvar, ven(myvar_d)
svymean myvar_d*
mat prop=e(b)
Later you can write -prop[x,y]- to use a particular proportion. You can also
save other results like the SE and deff statistic. Type -ereturn list-
after -svymean- to see the macros saved in Stata's temp memory.
