Yes, that's quite easy, if I wanted to search for files mentioning 
gplots.  However, the NOTE was misleading:

  'library' or 'require' calls not declared from:
  gplots sp

suggesting that I had used a function from those packages somewhere 
without a library() or require().  It turned out that I had just omitted 
those packages from the Suggests: line in DESCRIPTION.  So,
perhaps it would be more informative to say:

  'library' or 'require' calls not declared in Depends: or Suggests: from:
  gplots sp
