As Dirk says, there is a PDL interface to the probability
distributions in PDL. I have also started on a more general PDL
interface to the GSL library and started with the special functions. I
can more-or-less do what you want (or could at some point :), but this
summer I am too busy with other stuff so I can't do much more.
If this is of interest I can send you the current stuff, but be warned
that it is focussed on automatically generating interfaces between PDL
and GSL...
