There is no such package on CRAN - yet - but there will be soon: I've created a package called gRbayesnet which implements the "Lauritzen-Spiegelhalter" propagation algorithm. I expect to upload it to CRAN within the next few days. 

An alternative could be to extend the current R-Weka interface
from Kurt Hornik et alii

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/RWeka.html

to include as well an interface to the Weka Bayes net package
described at

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/weka/BayesianNetClassifiers-3.5.6.pdf

library(RWeka)
?list_Weka_interfaces

describes how to register new interfaces.
