The "R-admin" manual describes how to build R from outside of the top-level source directory on a *NIX machine (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Simple-compilation), but it makes no analagous mention of a way to do so under Windows. Since the build process in Windows is so different (not using configure, for instance, and typically being performed from within $R_SOURCES/src/gnuwin32/), *and* since the "R-admin" guide makes no mention of it, my guess is that it's not easily possible. But I'd love to learn otherwise, or even just get a definitive "no".
