You might look at the validate.tree function in the Design library (http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Design.html) but better validated predictive accuracy would be obtained by approximating the predictions from the randomForest by a single (moderately large) tree.  You can use rpart to develop such a tree, stopping when, for example, the R-square is 0.9 or 0.95.
