Stumbled upon this, could be quite useful in the right hands.
Libnoise (http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/index.html)
Planetary Texture Image (http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/examples/complexplanet/images/planet.jpg)
Complex Planet (http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/examples/complexplanet/index.html)
Unfortunately its only a set of library's, needs a developer to take it further.
Quote from: Libnoise website quoteNote: libnoise does not generate images, it only generates coherent-noise values. It is up to the programmer to use these values to generate images.
What do you think?
