Is this an R question? Anyways:

According to ideology (the maths of the P-B paper is heuristic at best),
the cusum test is equivalent to a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, so you should be able to either use ks.test as is, or, with the appropriate scaling, feed the max(abs(cusum)) to pkstwo (which can be lifted from the sources of ks.test).
