You can display the text in a 'textplot' from package PerformanceAnalytics or gplots.

(Little) downside: To my knowledge there is no Syntax highlighting possible.

Sample Code:

```{r fig.width=8, fig.height=5, fig.keep = 'last', echo=FALSE}
suppressMessages(library(PerformanceAnalytics))
layout(t(1:2))
textplot('plot(1:10)')
plot(1:10)
```
