Have you actually tried the R Corba interface?  Unless it's been
updated, it doesn't really work (not with the recent version of
Orbacus, which might not even be available  -- it had a pretty
restrictive license).  

At one point, I'd made progress with getting OmniORB to work, which
might be a better approach, but it isn't finished (and is based on
an early version 3, not the current version 4, or the "last" version
3).
