I am not aware of an R-package but there are several applications that
produce tables from graphs which you can import into R afterwards. A
few examples:
g3data (LINUX, opensource)
engauge (LINUX/Windows, opensource)
Grab it! (Windows, commercial)
Datathief (LINUX/Windows/Mac, shareware)
UN-SCAN-IT (Windows/Mac, commercial)
Google digs up quite a few additional hits with "digitizing graph
data".
