       One of the UK Linux mags did a feature on Linux in 
bioinformatics a year or so ago, which I *think* included references to 
one or more cladistics programs. Trouble is, that mag long since went 
the way of all dead trees.
       
       Googling I rapidly came up with a list of "parsimony" programs 
which would seem in the direction you're looking for (from 
http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/software.html#Unix 
excluding ones not listed as having source available, on the assumption 
that if you can get the source, you can make it work on Linux):
    * PAUP*
    * PHYLIP
    * Phylo_win
    * sog
    * gmaes
    * LVB
    * TAAR
    * ARB
    * MALIGN
    * POY
    * TNT
    * TCS
    * GAPars 
    * PAUPRat
    * Mesquite
    * FootPrinter
    * BPAnalysis 
    Which one best suits your needs ...
