Hi Lars,
It may not be Stata, but you could also take a look at G*Power. It's free and can be used to calculate various aspects of statistical power (e.g., required sample size to detect a given effect size, minimum detectable effect size, etc...). It doesn't calculate these sizes for SEM or MLM, but for most other models you can get quick and easy answers.
