I am assuming here that you are not talking about an Affy array? If you 
are, the easiest thing to do would be to use GOstats and the 
corresponding annotation package for that chip.

If we are not talking about an Affy chip, ideally one would still be 
able to use GOstats and one of the org.Xx.eg.db packages, but I don't 
know if any functionality for such an approach exists at this time.

You could also use topGO using one of the org.Xx.eg.db packages 
(assuming that the species you are using is one of the six for which an 
org.Xx.eg.db package exists).

You might also consider a GSEA approach using the Category package.

As Georg Otto mentioned, you might also consider annotating your data 
using biomaRt, but this approach will not work for GOstats. It will work 
for topGO, and might work for Category, although I am not 100% sure 
about that one.

All of these packages have vignettes that you can read to help you get 
started.

Best,

Jim
