If you mean this paper by Fahrmeir: 
http://biomet.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/81/2/317 I would 
recommend  BayesX: http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~bayesx/.
BayesX interfaces with R and estimates discrete (and continuous) time survival 
data with penalized regression methods.
If you are looking for a bona fide Bayesian survival analysis method and do not 
wish to spend a lot of time coming up and debugging your MCMC implementations 
in WinBUGS/JAGS/OpenBUGS this would be the way to go.
If you are strictly after frequentist analyses then you can still run them with 
BayesX (look at the REML chapter in the manual).
