try readOGR in rgdal package.
If you are using a mac, installing rgdal is slightly more complicated.

Dear list members
I have a question concerning the import of multipolygon-shapefiles
(ESRI notation: PolygonM, type 25). I tried readShapePoly() from the
maptools package, the PBSmapping package (which seems to use the
same function) and read.shapefile() from the shapefile package. With
maptools/PBSmapping I've got the message that this polygon-type
cannot (yet) be handled. Is there another way to read such shapefile-
types? We also have PostGIS in our office, but I did'nt tried out,
whether it works or not. I work with R version 2.10.1 (64 bit) on Mac.
Best regards
Mario
