Yes, all the packages are now on CRAN (spgrass6, the others are in rgdal
or maptools), there is no no need to use the off-CRAN
http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/R repository.

You could also have stated which platform you are using, because if there 
had been a problem, it would have been platform dependent. 

The correct current install of spgrass6 is:

install.packages("spgrass6", dependencies=TRUE)

on Windows for cygwin, or on other platforms:

install.packages(c("sp", "maptools"), dependencies=TRUE)
install.packages("rgdal") # in case of problems
install.packages("spgrass6")

or just the packages that are not already installed.
