none that I know of specifically for Houdini
but the principles are the same in any app…
you can use bone deformation or blendshapes…

Bone deformation gets you nice arcs and relies on painting weights as you would skin the rest of the character.

As Michael mentioned another approach is to use blend shapes. Here's a nice Soft approach to blending with arcs. This technique is used often in that world to deform an eyelid along an arc without having to specify in-between blend shapes and not have to resort to wrapping up deformers when all you want is a blend deformed facial set-up for speed.

depend on what you mean. take my cindy houdini character https://vimeo.com/131793541 [vimeo.com] the procedure is really simple. make 2 states, one: open eyes and the other: close eyes. then blend sop for interpolate it and give the rigth feeling.

Yes. This gives you a linear blend between the two shapes which works in most cases but if you want the deformation to somewhat follow the eye shape, then you can implement the spline interpolated blend shape technique I referred to above.
