I don't know how to do this with Roxygen2, but what you want to get is a 
package help page (typically yourpackage-package.Rd with 
\alias{yourpackage-package}, and maybe also \alias{yourpackage}).  On 
that page you can have sections using

\section{section_title}{
    some content
}

The "some content" can be a list of links to your help topics using 
\itemize, \enumerate, or \tabular.  See the built-in manual "Writing R 
Extensions", and presumably some Roxygen2 documentation to tell you how 
to let all of this get through to the .Rd file.
