No, but you can include those files in some directory under inst, e.g. 
inst/images.  Then R code system.file("images/foo.png", package = "pkg") 
will give you the filename.

In most cases this isn't necessary, because in most vignettes figures 
are produced by the R code, but obviously there are exceptions.
