Perhaps useful to you -- I recently added WINDOW FUNCTION support to
PL/R*. Currently this new feature is only available in git master, but
within a few days I will push a new release. You can download the source
from git here if you want:

The official docs have not been updated yet, but see the pre-release
docs here (specifically chapter 9):

*PL/R allows you to execute R functions from within a PostgreSQL database
