Prince6 (www.princexml.com) supports these properties:
hyphenate: none | auto
hyphenate-dictionary: none | url(...)
hyphenate-before: <int>
hyphenate-after: <int>
hyphenate-lines: none | <int>
(with a "prince-" prefix)
You can see the properties in use here:

Currently, Prince will only hypenate paragraphs with 'text-align:
justify'. I agree that hypenation is useful in other cases as well.
