Yes, it does. It is also nice because it runs R, so if I am writing examples in the Rd files, I can run them directly. Here is the little blurb regarding the major mode for Rd files: (Rd-mode) Major mode for editing R documentation source files. This mode makes it easier to write R documentation by helping with indentation, doing some of the typing for you (with Abbrev mode) and by showing keywords, strings, etc. in different faces (with Font Lock mode on terminals that support it).
