The r-sig-geo list is often a better place to post for such
"geographically" related questions, especially if you don't get a helpful
response here.
But R is open source, so typing
raster:::focal
at the command line prompt will show you the function code if it is written
in R. Whether that is "helpful" is another matter.
Cheers,
Bert
