Don't know of a built-in function, but you can try this:

## if you want the so-called 'error function'
## from ?pnorm
erf <- function(x) 2 * pnorm(x * sqrt(2)) - 1
erf.inv <- function(x) qnorm((x + 1)/2)/sqrt(2)

erf.inv(1)
erf.inv(0)
erf.inv(-1)
erf.inv(erf(.25))
erf(erf.inv(.25))
erf.inv(.5)

HTH,
