The postscript() device will do EPS, as will dev.copy2eps(). In fact,
almost all graphics in Introductory Statistics with R were done with

X11(height=3.5,width=4.4,pointsize=8)
par(mar=c(4,4,3,2)+.1)

and then (e.g.)

plot(height,weight)
dev.copy2eps(file="h-w.ps")

(plus a epstopdf step, but you wouldn't need that)
