Integrate and NIntegrate do actually work with vector valued functions, e.g: f[x_] := {x^2, x^3} In[2]:= NIntegrate[Evaluate[f[x]],{x,0,1}] Out[2]= {0.333333,0.25} It is not clear from your description why this does not work in your case. Perhaps you should post your actual example or at least a mini-version that has the same essential features.
