MCMCpack fits Bayesian models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo
simulation, which is a very different thing to fitting Markov chain models
to data! 

You might be interested in my msm package on CRAN, which fits continuous
time Markov models to either fully-observed trajectories or 
interval-censored
data.
