Any semidefinite programming solver should do the trick for quadratic 
problem with quadratic constraints. I suggest you have a look at SDPA, 
but there a lot of such solvers available if you look well.

(Well not every quadratic constraints, but reasonable ones, yes.)

The trick is how you get to reformulate your problem into a semidefinite
one. SDPs may not be the fastest solver for your problem if it has a 
specific structure, but as a general solution or prototype, it works,
and is
adequately fast.

But I'm not so sure as what is available in R for SDPs.
