Literally "anything is possible" subject to the constraint of Travis hosting on Ubuntu 12.04 (aka "Precise") with an opt-in to Ubuntu 14.04 (aka "Trusty"). So anything you can build there, or build yourself somewhere else in order to run there -- and I have made the case that the Launchpad build system by Canonical/Ubuntu is good -- will work. 12.04 / 14.04 are sometimes a little restrictive, but one can generally do just fine. Now, I (as the one rolling up the r-release .deb packages for R) never created one for R-devel -- but Gabor filled that gap for purposes of r-builder / r-hub. That is your (current) best bet. For what it is worth, I still prefer my R-devel tests to be local -- but use in Travis is a perfectly fine approach.
