Hi Kevin,
I might be completely off track, but the intersectDiagram function 
(plotrix) shows the intersections of an arbitrary number of categories 
as rectangles, the width of which is proportional to the number of 
elements in each intersection.

Alternatively, you might be looking for something related to the 
fan.plot function in which the sectors are overlapping. By adjusting the 
overlap to the intersection of elements, you could sort of combine a 
Venn diagram and a pie chart. Do you have any examples?
