That's what I do.  I've looked into converting an org-file to
Roxygen or Rd markup, but never got very far.  My idea at the time
was to do something like:

* function1
** Help
*** Title
    this is function 1 title
*** Description
    function1 does this...
*** Usage
    function1(arg1, arg2, ...)
*** Arguments
    arg1: the first argument
*** Examples
    function1(arg1 = x, arg2 = y)
**Definition
    begin_src R :tangle R/package.R
    function1 <- function(arg1, arg2) {

    }

Well, that functionality is essentially present with code blocks
and tangling, except the documentation part.
