There has been a rough R-code implementation of MART some years ago on
Friedman's home page. Since then, MART is only available from Salford
Systems as part of their TreeNet software.
I asked Jerome Friedman about the R/MART interface, but he only guided
me to the Salford System Web page. Salford replied, but I never received
any R interface for their software from them.
TreeNet is a very interesting Data Mining applicatione. To try it out
you can easily receive a demo license from Salford -- without the R
interface, of course.
