Feng, Kabsch can do this, possibly. I just tested two proteins (1cll and 1ggz) which both have 4 calciums at very similar locations:
PyMOL> load 1cll.pdb PyMOL> load 1ggz.pdb PyMOL> optAlign 1cll and e. CA, 1GGZ and e. CA RMSD=2.254852 You could try that. Kabsch (and optAlign) can be found on the wiki (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Kabsch#The_New_Code). I suggest you grab the New Code if this works for you.
