If you are just talking about visualising the interface and not docking
two proteins together in the first place then the Deep View program can
do this (www.expasy.ch/spdbv/).  It can calculate a contact surface
between two (or more) docked structures, and will allow you to view a
variety of molecular interactions.  It also has the added bonuses of
being free, and available on pretty much whatever platform you like.

Hope this helps

Simon
