You might want to download the source package for nlme.  You can get
it here:

http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/nlme_3.1-56.tar.gz

I think the function you are looking for is defined in varFunc.R and
it looks like it is Initialize.varExp (initial cap) so you might retry
your search techniques with that name.

Hope that helps,
