The basic strategy is to calculate a matrix of values of the likelihood, 
corresponding to all combinations of values of two vectors.  Then 
persp()  (in graphics) or persp3d() (in rgl) can display the surface.

I don't know of anything that corresponds to curve() to do the matrix 
calculations automatically, but it may well exist.
