In 2.0.1 the command
help.search('goodness of fit')
comes up empty. "ks.test" is what I was looking for,
though perhaps there could be others?

Isn't that rather vague? All tests could be in that category, as well as
all anova methods and probably all diagnostics. At least one special case
of chisq.test probably has a better claim.
The entry in the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences supports the very
general view: it even has the Shapiro test.
Try help.search("statistics") or help.search("data analysis") ....
