Not out of the box. The task view installation just triggers a normal 
installation of packages - once these are installed there is no way to 
know from which task views the packages came.

But you can easily run update.views("TimeSeries") which will check first 
whether all packages from the task view are already installed. And then it 
only installs those that are not installed in a current version.

Yes, just do install.views(c("TimeSeries", "Graphics")) or analogously for 
update.views().
