The two packages you would need installed to do this would be uswusp and
gnome-power-manager. Additionally, you need to pass the name of the swap
partition to the resume= parameter on the kernel boot line. 

Gnome Power Manager calls out to uswusp to actually dumpt the contents
of RAM to disk. Subsequently, the contents are reloaded from the swap
partition on reboot.

Note that a great deal of effort is still going in to this frame work to
make it as seamless as possible so do not expect it to actually work
with your particular hardware as of yet.
