moran's I correlogram

I am looking for R packages that create a moran's I correlogram with ordinal data.
my data format is x , y coordinates with a z values that ranges between 0-4.
another concern i have is that my sample size is 250 and over 60% have a z value of 0. So i am concerned that the uneven nature of the z values will show autocorrelation when it is simply a matter that most of the data points have this value.
Your advice/ thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
Jenn

Have you considered using join counts (joincount.multi() in spdep)? This 
avoids using the misleading metric in moran.test, but does not use the 
fact that a 3/4 join says more than a 0/4 join. This would have to be 
covered in the description of the output figure. Constructing weights 
lists for successive distance bands, it should be possible to plot a join 
count "correlogram".

Jeniffer,

Lance Waller provides some code:

Not sure if it would fit your particular requirement, though.
