Many people.  They use the mvrnorm() function in the MASS package.

This might be a good time to remind everyone of help.search(). Any of
  help.search("multivariate")
  help.search("normal")
  help.search("distribution")
will mention mvrnorm() if you have MASS installed (which, as of 1.3.0, you
almost certainly do).
