I wrote a little stopwatch function that ticks elapsed time for an expression, you can find it here: http://geospaced.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/stopwatch-in-r.html but it has no way of knowing how long your process is going to take. If you have something like a loop from 1:N you can do progress bars - assorted ones are provided by the packages utils, tcltk, R.utils and plyr - install them and do ??progress for a list of functions.
