The sys.call or match.call functions may be what you are looking for:
> tmpfun <- function(x,y,z,...) {
+ as.list( sys.call() )
+ }
>
> tmpfun( x=5, w=3, 1:10 )
[[1]]
tmpfun
$x
[1] 5
$w
[1] 3
[[4]]
1:10
> tmpfun2 <- function(x,y,z,...) {
+ as.list( match.call() )
+ }
> tmpfun2( x=5, w=3, 1:10 )
[[1]]
tmpfun2
$x
[1] 5
$y
1:10
$w
[1] 3
