  Probably impossible ...
  TIBCO, or whoever owns S-PLUS now (I don't pay much attention, so
it's hard for me to keep track) does try to achieve as much R-compatibility
as possible: see http://csan.insightful.com/doc/spluspackages.pdf .  If
your use of NUOPT is mission-critical, or if the price of S-PLUS is
not prohibitive, it might make sense to keep using S-PLUS to some
extent.

  If you can't do that, take a look at

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Optimization.html

 to see if R can do the things you are using NUOPT for.
