E.g., you can do that in three steps:
1. Test if x and y are cointegrated, e.g., using po.test() in tseries.
2. If cointegrated, run the regression r<-lm(y~x).
3. let z<-ts.union(diff(x),diff(y)) and xreg<-residuals(r),
xreg<-xreg[1:(length(xreg)-1)]
Run arima0(z,xreg=xreg,order=c(var.order,0,0)).

This corresponds to the so called Engle-Granger two-step procedure.
