plot.zoo and xyplot.zoo in the zoo package both produce multipanel plots with one panel per series (or optionally all on one panel or a mixture).
library(zoo) example(plot.zoo) example(xyplot.zoo) and see the three zoo vignettes. The quantmod package has charting specifically oriented to securities.
