You could use the cat function to output some text that would then be included 
in the sinked output file.  Or look at the txtStart and related functions in 
the TeachingDemos package for an alternative to sink that can include the code 
interspersed with the output and add additional text using txtComment.  You can 
even include graphs and some markup if willing to do a little postprocessing.

Look at the textplot function in the gplots package for one way to include the 
results from summary in one frame of a plot.

Hope this helps,
