I am using it do document a now rather large S4 package - with the new 
development version on rforge (its 0.1-1).

It basically works, _but_ :
- It took me quite some time to write everything "the way roxygen wants it"
- Error messages are often not very informative.
- Many (legal) ways to specify S4 classes / signatures will produce 
errors, you need to be very "verbose".
- Even disregarding there are still some clear bugs left IMHO.

I would also wish for a better (online) documentation, as I think the 
general idea of roxygen is great.

So it's worth a try but expect some obstacles. There's also a roxygen 
devel list, where you could go with questions.
I got some S4 examples from one of the recent roxygen talks, If you want 
them I could forward those.
