  Maybe

 untar(tarfile,compressed="gzip")

?

  According to ?untar it seems that just
untar(tarfile) might work ...

read.table('path.to.file.tar.gz')

or any of its derivatives (read.csv, read.csv2, etc.). Of course
you'll need to set the arguments appropriately. For example:

read.table('path.to.comma.delimited.tar.gz', sep=",", header=T)

Cheers,

Jeff.
