Well, actually we have written a wrapper program that allows you to
calculate cluster p-values for F-contrasts via fmristat. For more
details, see

This toolbox is designed for cluster p-value calculation in VBM-like
analyses (i.e., under non-uniform smoothness or non-stationarity). But
there is a hidden feature in this NS toolbox that allows you to
calculate cluster p-values (t- or F-contrasts). This can be done by
creating a global variable called ASSUME_STATIONARY and setting it to 1.
Here is an excerpt from its documentation.
% A hidden feature of spm_list_nS allows calculation of cluster p-values
% for t- and F-images under stationarity as well. This is implemented by
% the stat_thresh function using the results by Cao [1]. This feature is
% activated by creating a global variable called ASSUME_STATIONARY and
% set it to 1. Otherwise spm_list_nS calculates cluster p-values under
% non-stationarity.
