I'm not an R-graphics guru, so I've no idea if this is the
best way.  Works for me, but there may be better...

xfig(file="myfile.fig")
... [plot commnands] ...
dev.off()

and use xfig, available at 
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/drawing_tools/xfig/ 

If you like xfig, you might also want to check out pstoedit,
which takes Postscript or PDF files, and converts them to
fig format (nb it can actually convert to *many* more formats
than fig - it also does fig quite well).
