Ermmm... from ?integrate "Description: Adaptive quadrature of functions of one variable over a finite or infinite interval."
R maps infinite intervals to a finite interval before numerical integration, provided that you tell it that the limits are infinite. Using integrate() over multivariate intervals will get very slow, though; I wouldn't do that...

No, R does numerical (not symbolical) calculations, hence it can never perform integration (not even univariate) with infinite limits.
