It is not clear to me what you are trying to calculate frequencies for.  Are you trying to get 10 sets of 4 random digits, or 4 sets of ten random digits?  What frequencies are you trying to calculate?

To generate 10 rows of 4 digits I would probably do something like

digits <- matrix(sample(9,40,replace=T), nrow=10)  

Then you could get frequencies of digits by row or by column.  But I am not sure what you want.

Hope this is helpful,

Dan
