I can't see a direct way, but you could capture the output of print:

  framename=function(frame){capture.output(print(frame))}
  foo=function(x){framename(sys.frame(1))}
  foo()
 [1] environment: 0x8eb451c

any good?

Hmm.  I need to do some pondering on that one.  I do not really 
understand it, at least not yet.
