Answer 1

No, I don't think so.

But you could try re-running package.skeleton() for new or changed functions and then merge this by hand.

Answer 2

Rd2roxygen was designed to help package developers who have been "stuck" in the raw Rd files but want to switch to roxygen -- it can process Rd files and update the R scripts with roxygen comments. From then on, you can begin to enjoy the power of roxygen. So Rd2roxygen is not a direct answer, but it might help you with the transition.

Answer 3

This doesn't specifically answer your question, but you may be interested in Roxygen.
