Just about that, yes, you can use Sage just as a distribution of scientific software. On the commanline, just enter $ sage -sh and you are inside the so called sage environment. There, you can start any of it's programs, and in your case, you can start R and install the R commander. Via this environment you basically bypass everything of sage and you have direct control of all tools. (i.e. theoretically, you could download and install a binary version of R from their website while being in that environment, replacing the one from sage) Unfortunately, I tried it and I got errors installing the Rcmdr package ..
