Try the R-Sig-Geo mailing list for a better target community, but if these
are shapefiles there is read support in rgdal (or maptools for a simpler
alternative) and if these are in long-lat like the maps package then
plot(x, add=TRUE) will be most of the way there.
If you need to transform either layer then see spTransform or project in
rgdal.
Cheers, Mike
