Only with some significant compromises.  R normally acts as the web 
server for Rd files, and the URL is not really predictable.  So you 
would need to make the URL predictable, either by something like

options(help.ports = 12345)

(which will put help on port 12345, blocking that port for any other 
use, including help in another R session), or by putting a static copy 
of the help pages on some other web server.
