Not sure, but this thread seems to suggest gplots has some venn
diagram capability and also mentions another package called venneuler:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/venneuler/index.html

But still, assuming you have Vennerable's dependencies installed, I
suspect you can get Vennerable to install if you specify
type="source". Instead of this:

> install.packages("Vennerable", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
> Warning: unable to access index for repository http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13

Try:

install.packages("Vennerable", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",
type="source")

(or you can also svn checkout the package and `R CMD INSTALL` from the
command line)

HTH,
