You can't while using -xtivreg-. Others are better able to 
comment about alternatives.

The helpfile is a bit complex and a bit terse. The way to 
read the helpfile in this case is as follows: 

o -cluster()- has been replaced by -vce()-, so you need to 
  look for the description of the option -vce()-. 
o The options are grouped by random effects/between effects/
  fixed effects, so you need to look at the options described
  under the heading fixed effects. 
o At the -vce()- under the fixed effects heading it says: 
  "vcetype may be conventional, bootstrap, or jackknife". 
  This means all other types, including -cluster- are not 
  allowed.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
