When barplots start getting complicated (and sometimes before that) you may want to start considering dotplots (package lattice) instead.
For your specific problem you could possibly do the side-by-side plot, then using the output from barplot and the rect function you could plot a rectangle over the top of part of the on bar (or set of bars) to do the stacked portion. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
