There are several diffferent programs available that can do this for the
complete surface, e.g. MSMS (developed in Sanner's group) or MOLSURF. You
will just need to write a simple csh script or perl script to loop over
differetn structures and average at the end, which you will have to
create. The MMPBSA script basically does this. If you're interested in
areas per residue, I would recommend SURFV or SUFVCV from the Honig lab.
You can choose to get the output per residue or per atom as well as the
full surface area. Most of these programs are freely available.

Hope this helps,

Natasja
