Generate them where, and for what purpose?

There's the 'tagcloud' package, which will generate a (presumably local)
Web page with a tag cloud for a given input text file. That's not useful
for dynamic tag-cloud generation AFAICT, but it does generate them.

That package depends on libhtml-tagcloud-perl, which presumably can also
be used to enable other programs to generate tag clouds, but wouldn't
let it happen automatically; you'd have to write a program which uses
the appropriate Perl module.

There may be more, that's just what I notice off the top of my head.
What packages may be appropriate for you depends on what, specifically,
it is you're trying to accomplish.
