If you insert `\n` between each letter, then it should do what you
want with a single call to text or mtext. To expand on David's
example:
plot(1:10)
text(5,5, paste( strsplit(txvec, ''), collapse='\n') )

It appears that par crt does not work with text. Does anyone have any
other suggestions.
Just print the letters separately. Something like this untested use of
`mapply`:
mapply(text, labels=strsplit(txvec, ""),
x=1, # or some other appropriate number, should get recycled.
y=seq(start, end, length=nchar(txvec) )
