GSAS/EXGUI has 2 implemented approaches to deal with preferred orientation:
1) March-Dollase correction; this requires that you state specific hkl values.
2) Spherical harmonics correction (Orientational Distribution Function); a bit more flexible, and the suggested starting approach.
Slides at the bottom of the page give more info on both approaches.
