Well, there's the xfig() device whose output can be edited with xfig.... 
This was originally written (by me, for S-PLUS, back in the dark ages, 
later modified extensively for R by Brian) with the purpose of being 
able to do things like moving unfortunately placed labels around. In 
practice, I hardly ever used it because of the "writing in sand" aspect 
that affects all such interactive tools.  However, xfig is still around 
and even installable on Windows with a little extra effort.
