Not as far as I'm aware.  There was a proposal to have R package
support developed as part of the Google Summer of Code (see
http://www.nabble.com/Google-Summer-of-Code-td15825129.html) and there
is some support for R packages in paludis (see above and also
http://www.nabble.com/R-packages-from-CRAN--td16298845.html where you
got some similar responses).

It would be very handy to have Gentoo (portage or paludis) support
CRAN packages in the same way CPAN is supported.  I don't have a clue
where to start though.
