For an example, see the R loess.smooth function which uses k-d trees.  
Try ?loess.smooth for info and just type

   loess.smooth

like that exactly to see source.  It calls a C function that calls a FORTRAN
function to do the real work, presumably for efficiency reasons.  You can
view those by looking at:

   loess-README
   loessc.c
   loessf.f

at this link:

   https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-1-9-patches/src/library/stats/src/

Unfortunately the above is in FORTRAN whereas you seem to be looking for a
pure R solution but hopefully that will get you started.
