If I understand correctly, you can use which( ,arr.ind=TRUE):

Assuming that you start with a data frame,

  dat <- as.data.frame(matrix(runif(30), ncol=5))
  nm <- names(dat)
  cormat <- cor(dat)
  cormat[lower.tri(cormat, diag=TRUE)] <- NA
  idx <- which(cormat > 0.4, arr.ind=TRUE)
  idx
  cbind(nm[idx[, "row"]], nm[idx[, "col"]])

will give you the pairs.
