Why not use low-level plotting commands and par() to add what you want on
your graphics? This is _really_ flexible, and you can do almost what you
want. The advantage is that you do that within R. I am revising "R for
beginners", and it includes an example illustrating how to use these
functions on a simple plot. I also posted an example on the list some time
ago. A limitation seems to be the impossibility to add pictures (such as
drawings of animals) in an R graphics.

About your question, I believe XFig is what you are looking for
(www.xfig.org).

Hope this helps.
