That's what call_R achieves: indeed solving ODEs seems
the world's favourite example of call_S/R.

To achieve it that way is easy, but it can be pretty slow. As e.g. the 
optimization functions show, there are slicker ways to call Rf_eval
more directly from a C wrapper.  I can't imagine that ODE solver code
is different in principle.
