Another possibility is to just place it at the end of the vignette.
That is where it is in the proto package:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/vignettes/proto/proto.pdf
Package documentation is already quite scattered and adding
a faq() command would add just one more thing one has

It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if
faq(package.name)
would produce this faq. And if, by default
faq()
FAQ()
would produce the admirable R faq... Apologies in advance
if there is already a mechanism like this, but help.se
