Another option to get graphs in LaTeX using the same fonts as the rest of the 
document is to export from R as an eps file, then use eps2pgf 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/eps2pgf) to convert to a pgf file.  Then in 
the LaTeX file just use \input with the created .pgf file.  This creates the 
graph inside of the LaTeX document using the default font(s) within the 
document.
 
Hope this helps,

FYI, the LaTeX 'psfrag' package was designed for the purpose of having
LaTeX replace the text in EPS figures with text specified in LaTeX.
That should give you the same font as in your main document.  I
haven't used it in a while but it normally does what you want.
