  You could try rSSI from the spatstat package. This creates points 
sequentially, but if the next point is closer than 'r' units to any 
other points, it generates a different next point.

  There are other ways of simulating point patterns with this kind of 
inhibition, and I suspect spatstat has them! Look at help(rStrauss) as well.
