James, 

A general set of LYR_ functions is being developed (as you will
find in the GFUNC online help). At present, the only function
in 5.9.1 is:
LYR_SWTM ( input_arg1 | levels ): Computes the weighted mean of a
                                  scalar field.

The NCEP developers are in the process of adding capabilities for ENS_ and LYR_
functions. in the next several releases- but very limited at present.

I have seen many users over the years using MM5 outoput in GEMPAK, so
this is something you might find addressed by the MM5 user group; however,
a google search for mm5togem returns:
