the documentation is available as info files.

$ cygcheck -l R |grep info
/usr/share/info/R-admin.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-data.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-exts.info-1.gz
/usr/share/info/R-exts.info-2.gz
/usr/share/info/R-exts.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-FAQ.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-intro.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-ints.info.gz
/usr/share/info/R-lang.info.gz

For what I can see the help data are also present.
The formatting could be better but I have no problem in reading.

If you are looking for a HTML browser help,
of course it is not configured.

Regards
Marco
