See 

	$CRAN/src/contrib/Archive/

which has further subdirectories A to Z each of which contain all known
versions of all packages starting with that letter.
 
BTW, I used these file listing (directly parsed from R via a call to 'links
-dump' and a trivial awk filter) to construct a rough `CRAN growth curve' to
motivate my talk at UseR! about our efforts of turning all of CRAN and BioC
into .deb packages.
