I believe my margeff package can produce easily what you want to obtain.
After estimating your mlogit model, try the following code:
margeff , at(mean) replace
qui su education
local m1 = r(mean) // getting the mean of education
qui su experience
local m2 = r(mean) // getting the mean of experience
// calculating dy/d.education = 1 + 2.education(mean) + experience (mean)
lincom education + 2*`m1'*education + `m2'*experience
If your derivative contains products of variables as well, use nlcom instead.
Hope this helps,
Tamas
