  That clearly works, but why?  Does the tilde cause the rest of
  the text to be parsed as an expression?  This looks extremely
  useful, and I am grasping for the underlying principle.

Try this:

plot(1, type=l, xlab=Wellenlänge [nm], col=darkslategray,
 main = ~ Spektrum ~ italic(Deschampsia ~ caespitosa))

 Dear List,

 Is there a possibility to change the font-face for a part of the title of a
 plot?

 For example I have the following...

 plot(nirs, type=l, xlab=Wellenlänge [nm], col=darkslategray,
   main = Spektrum Deschampsia caespitosa)

 ...and I would like to change the part of the title-string Deschampsia
 caespitosa to italics? Is that possible? If yes, how?

 The only possibility which came to my mind was tricking with the subtitle
 or with using text()...but that would be ugly...

 System: Both Linux and Windows, R-Version 2.7.1

 Thanks in advance,
 Albin Blaschka

Or this which looks slightly better:

plot(1, type=l, xlab=Wellenlänge [nm], col=darkslategray,
  main = ~ Spektrum ~ italic(Deschampsia caespitosa))

Hello all who answered that quick!

All given examples work as wished, the one quoted above seems to give 
the optically nicest result, at least on my good ol' IBM Thinkpad R40, 
Kubuntu Hardy Heron!


best wishes from Salzburg, Austria,
