Sure, but this doesn't quite answer your original question:  you can't 
pass a Sweave document to texi2dvi, you
need to pass it through Sweave first.  So the two steps would be

Sweave("myfile.Rnw")
tools::texi2dvi("myfile.tex")

That's essentially what SweavePDF does, but it adds some extra bells and 
whistles, e.g. it can process multiple related files, it can go directly 
to a previewer,and it will set up forward and reverse searching from the 
previewer.
