Please search R-help: this has come up several times. It seems quite a
few people are quite prepared to volunteer others to do this, but not
prepared to contribute to writing such a device.
RSiteSearch("metapaost")
will get you many references. (I am not posting the results, as it seems
they are not permanent URLs.) Note that you can convert xfig output to
metapost, and R has an xfig driver (since someone was generous enough to
actually contribute that).
