Abs (?), I have thought about and have (somewhere "up near the top" of my todo list) prototyping a preprocessor for R, and I have relevant code that emits (transpiles, in a way) structured comments into S4 code in https://github.com/gmbecker/S4Coffee.
All that said, until/unless the preprocessor is officially part of the R CMD build step, what putting code like that on CRAN would look like is you keep the raw code in /inst somewhere, and you do the emitting of R code into R/ before building the tarball for submitting. And if you do that CRAN will hav eno problem accepting such a package provided it isn't disallowed in some other way.
