You can put additional documentation in a "doc" subdirectory, but it won't be included in the automatically generated reference manual. I think the only way to do that is to put it in an Rd file. Allowing the user to easily include a general introduction at the start of that file sounds like it would be a nice enhancement. A somewhat commonly used convention is to put general package info about package foo into foo.Rd, but in some cases (e.g. boot) this name is already taken.
