A while ago, the Cygnus organisation has been created to address this 
kind of need, betting on the fact that they could live well by support 
contracts on free software, mainly GPL'ed software, which R is.  Since 
then, Cygnus has been bought by Redhat, and I do not know if the 
original vocation survived, or has been plain lost.  With enough luck, 
it could be useful to check on this side, who knows... :-)
