No, most OS X packages do not provide an uninstaller.
You can find out what got installed via installer by
viewing the bill of materials files as such:

$ lsbom /Library/Receipts/R-GUI.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
$ lsbom /Library/Receipts/R\ framework.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom

Toss the following in the trash from the Finder:
	/Applications/R.app
	/Library/Frameworks/R.framework
	~/Library/R/  (if it exists)
