If you are using GRAMPS 3.0 or 3.1, then there are a variety of things:

1) Top Surnames Gramplets. Shows the top 10 surnames, and percentages. If
you edit your ~/.gramps/gramplets.ini file, you can see more than just the
top 10. If you double-click a name, you'll open a view with all of those
people with the matching surnames.

2) Surname Cloud Gramplet. Shows top 100 surnames, with font size reflecting
percentage. You can also change the .ini file to show more names. Double
click the name to see all people.

3) Same Surname Quick View. In the Person View, right click a person, select
Quick View, Same Surname.

None of these are "text reports" but do show the information in a manner
that makes it easy to move about the data. Does this help?
