I have never tried this, but how I would: launch GRASS in text mode 
(either edit your .grassrc6 file and set GRASS_GUI to 'text' then click 
on your grass63.bat file, or launch cmd.exe and type 
'c:\grass6rc3\bin\grass.bat -text' - adapt the path to wherever you 
dezipped grass). Then you have GRASS in command line mode and you should 
be able to launch R from there by typing 'R'. You might have to add the 
path of R's binaries and libraries to the PATH: 'set 
PATH=%PATH%;c:\R\bin;c:\R\lib' (again adapt according to your installation).

Tell us if it works.
