For least squares fitting, you could take logs and do a simple linear fit, if the resduals are reasonably homoscedastic in the log domain (or if you can sort the weighting out properly).
For non-linear least squares, look at ?nlm, ?nls or (if you want to roll your own) ?optim
For max likelihood, maybe nlme in the nlme package.
For other ideas, look up 'non-linear fitting with R' on any search engine, or check the R Task Views
