EJBQLQuery supports aggregates:

http://cayenne.apache.org/docs/3.1/cayenne-guide/queries.html#ejbqlquery

The problem with it is that the query itself can only be created from String 
using a JPQL-like object query language, so you forfeit the type safety of 
SelectQuery. Still it is a much better abstraction then SQLTemplate for 
instance. (And its integration into SelectQuery is on the agenda).
