I've been browsing the files, writing the R function

difficult but wanted to make sure that the tool
does not exist yet.
Not as far as I know. Since both the *.map and the *.mdf are ASCII, it
certainly looks possible, and seems to fit into the Polygons/Polygon
object structure well. Would you consider contributing an interface tool
to maptools?
