Yes.  help.search shows

print.simplex(boot)     Print Solution to Linear Programming Problem
simplex(boot)           Simplex Method for Linear Programming Problems
simplex.object(boot)    Linear Programming Solution Objects
solveLP(linprog)        solve Linear Programming / Optimization
                        problems
lp.object(lpSolve)      LP (linear programming) object


You would have found linprog and lpsolve by looking in the R FAQ's list of
