I think you can do it the regular way, i.e. adding your R path to the 
PATH environmental variable in your C:\GRASS\grass63.bat script.
Fore example, you could add the following line:

    set PATH=C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.0\bin;%PATH%

to the section of the grass63.bat script which sets paths to utilities 
(libraries and binaries) used by GRASS.
It seems to work for me.

Luigi
