You could switch to ConTeXt (http://wiki.contextgarden.net,
http://www.pragma-ade.com) and use the R module distributed with it,
like so:

\usemodule[r]
\starttext

\startR
pdf("test.pdf")
plot(1:10)
dev.off()
\stopR

\externalfigure{test}

\stoptext

You could even use mmm-mode with it:
(setq mmm-global-mode 'maybe)
(setq mmm-submode-decoration-level 2)
(mmm-add-group 'context-plus
               '((context-R
                  :submode r-mode
                  :face mmm-comment-submode-face
                  :front ".*\\\\startR\\w*\\({\\w*}\\|\\[\\w*\\]\\|\\)\\W*"
                  :back  ".*\\\\stopR")
                 (context-MP
                  :submode metapost-mode
                  :face mmm-code-submode-face
                  :front ".*\\\\start\\w*MP\\w*\\({\\w*}\\|\\[\\w*\\]\\|\\)\\W*"
                  :back  ".*\\\\stop\\w*MP")
                 ))
(add-to-list 'mmm-mode-ext-classes-alist '(context-mode nil context-plus))

But that would require learning another TeX dialect ...
