You could try our zipfR package, available from http://www.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/~severt/zipfR/ (it's also on CRAN, but not the latest version). Amongst other things, this package implements random samples from populations that follow the Zipf-Mandelbrot law (in the form of the "ZM" and "fZM" LNRE models). If you decide to use it, I can give you a few lines of sample code to help you get started.
