I am trying to check my packages with R-rc

And what is that? Please do note what the posting guide says about giving accurate version information.

and latex is failing to find utf8.def. I presume my latex installation is defective or too old, or is this file distributed with R and I just don't have a path set correctly?

It is part of the required version of LaTeX. From the NEWS file for 2.11.0:

    o   UTF-8 is now used for the reference manual and package
        manuals.  This requires LaTeX '2005/12/01' or later.
