Sure, for example GNU R has a add-on package 'mvtnorm' for it, see its
manual at

    http://cran.r-project.org/doc/packages/mvtnorm.pdf
    
There is also a companion article in the Vol 1/2 issue of R News:

I am sure that Brian et al would welcome a port to plain C which adheres to
the GSL coding standards.
