Have you looked at John Fox's "Rcmdr" package?
See
  http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/
and
  John Fox (2005). "The R Commander: A Basic-Statistics Graphical User
  Interface to R", Journal of Statistical Software, 14(9). URL

Also look at http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/ for an overview of other
GUI projects.
