I don't think there is a supported way of doing that. It would have to
affect quite a lot of cases of rendering help pages, including
help(help_type = 'pdf').

For better or worse, environment variables set from inside
\Sexpr[stage=render]{...} currently persist until texi2pdf() is run,
but that's intrusive because it affects all following texi2pdf() calls
from the same process.

Perhaps it's worth discussing as a feature request on R-devel?
