You will most likely be able to read the data into R/Bioconductor and you could certainly use the normalize.quantiles() function as applied to a matrix using the standard affy package (but pretty much everything else would be broken for tiling arrays). The newer oligo package might have more support for tiling array data, but I don't know the specifics of its support.
