Christian, I too find these two packages very interesting. Another 
package that you might
find interesting besides geoR is geoRglm. However, you've told us too 
little about what
your problem is to give you advise about which methods to use, and where 
to find them.

You will find even more packages for geostatistical analysis on the 
spatial task view:
R home page -> CRAN -> CRAN mirror -> Task Views -> Spatial.
