Take a look at http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/Talks/fonts.pdf (and maybe http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/Talks/fonts.tar.gz) especially the latter half on mathematical formulas in plots, which shows an example of using TeX fonts in R plots. It includes links to further materials and explanations.
