In Leopard from a terminal, you can try 

open -n /Applications/R.app

to open as many copies of the app as you like.  Be careful though,
because these inherit environment variables from the terminal
session, not necessarily the same as those when running the
app from the Finder.  I was bitten by that the first time I
tried this.
