You probably have to use readShapeSpatial (sp package) to get the data
into R. Then it's likely to be something like a SpatialPoints or similar
data frame which you can plot (or of which you can plot single layers)
using spplot.
I guess the plotting device would then be CairoSVG (Cairo package).
I'm just guessing since you didn't provide further info. Otherwise, you
may also try a decent GIS with a scripting interface to get reproducible
results.

Georg.
