You may be able to set par(new=TRUE) but it looks to me like polar.plot
sets the radius for each graph so you would need to come up with a way of
dealing with this.

start ?
polar.plot(a, dir.a, start = 90, clockwise = T, show.grid.labels = T,
radial.lim=c(0,5), line.col=2, lwd=2)
op <- par(new=TRUE)
polar.plot(b, dir.b, start = 90, clockwise = T, show.grid.labels = T,
radial.lim=c(0,5), line.col=1, lwd=2)
par(op)
