If you use LaTeX you could try the tikzDevice package (
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/tikzdevice/ ).  In that case you
would use:

main = paste('\\mu =',mu,', \\lambda =',lambda,', truncation =',truncation,
', N_T =',n)

a full example is:

tikz('myplot.tex')
boxplot(rnorm(100), main = paste('\\mu =',mu,', \\lambda =',lambda,',
truncation =',truncation, ', N_T =',n))
dev.off()

And in a tex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\input{myplot.tex}
\caption{}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

and the symbols would get typeset by latex.

P.S. I am one of the authors of this package, so this post is a bit self
serving but we just released a beta version and are trying to get the word
out.
