Edzer,

not sure if this is interesting, as only partially R based:

Here at ITC-irst we are doing multitemporal satellite image analysis
for epidemiology using GRASS and R (and PostgreSQL). Basically 
time series of land surface temperatures from MODIS (Terra and Aqua),
which gives us 4 maps per day (!). The amount of data to process is
in the multi-GB range.

Something is here (working on the pages currently):
http://mpa.itc.it/rs/
       -> MODIS

So, yes, it works well with a high degree of automation.
But it is not a R package of course.

Best regards,

 Markus
