I want to Thank Any Liaw, Tamara Shatar, Rob Tibshirani, Patricia Beziat, Eric 
Wong,
Sean Keenan, Falk Huettmann, Kunio Takezawa, Nick Ellis, Bjxrn-Helge Mevik,
and others.

Here are some sample of answers:

The library mda by Trevor Hastie and Robert Tibshirani contains an
implementation of mars.
For Splus go to http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/Winlibs/.
For R simply load the package from CRAN.
-Nick Ellis

Try the website http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~jhf/MART.html

T
revor Hastie has implemented mars in the mda library, which can be found
either on STATLIB or Hastie's web site.  The same code has been ported to
the `mda' package for R (available on CRAN).

Charles Kooperberg also has an R package `polspline' that fits similar
models to MARS, but has more features (e.g., estimates density, hazard rate,
classification, etc.)
-Andy Liaw

Venables and Ripley discuss this in Modern Applied Statistics with S (4th
edition - page 235).  Apparently it is in library section mda or another
restricted version is in library section polymers (Kooperberg and O'Connor).

-Tamara Shatar.
