If what you want is a raster grid storing the value of some attribute
of polygons sampled at a grid of locations, see help(overlay) and
help("overlay-methods") in package sp. Note the complications that can
happen if your polygons overlap.
Another possibility is simply to plot your polygons to a png device
with no margins or axes or other decorations. I'd call this a
different class of vector-raster conversion, and might be what you
need if you want a raster representation of the outline of your
polygons. You'd then need to read in the png and set coordinates with
the other various raster handling functions.
