Cool question. My immediate thought (weighted by the fact that I cannot write
elisp code ;-) ) was to test for that in the _the standard R startup files_.
A quick check of what `Sys.getenv()` returns inside Emacs reveals the
`INSIDE_EMACS` env var so now I just added
if (interactive() && nzchar(Sys.getenv("INSIDE_EMACS"))) {
cat("Hello Emacs user.\n")
}
to the bottom of .Rprofile and indeed:
[... other stuff including the fortunes::fortune call output ...]
Hello Emacs user.

but not when I start R on the terminal. That could be start for you.
