You can use locator() nested within legend() i.e.
plot(YourVariable) legend(locator(1),legend="Your Legend")
Once you call this command it will display "Your Legend" in the place where you left clicked your mouse. Beware that, as described in the documentation "...'locator' is only supported on screen devices such as 'X11','windows' and 'quartz'. On other devices the call will do nothing"
Altrenativelly you can pass the exact coordinates of the position where you want the legend, instead of using locator
i.e.
plot(YourVariable) x<-list(x=-91.76781, y=46.87375) legend(x,legend="Your Legend")
I hope that this helps

Check out gplots::smartlegend (in the R 2.0.0 gregmisc bundle).
