Assuming you have parsing enabled as described on the first page of the
AUCTeX manual, you can get AUCTeX from CVS which has support for
hyperref ... since, uh, 5 minutes.

RefTeX does not provide support for apacite as for natbib or jurabib
yet.  But you can define your macros by customizing the variable
`reftex-cite-format'.  See (info "(reftex)Citation Styles") and
(info "(reftex)Options (Creating Citations)").

How do you call the Sweave script?  Did you add "nw", "Rnw" and "Snw" to
`TeX-file-extensions' and `reftex-file-extensions'?

Frankly I don't have much experience with how AUCTeX has to be set up
for Sweave.  The above I picked up from some discussions on this list.
But since there are some Sweave users who also use AUCTeX perhaps you
get some information by searching the archives of the Sweave mailing
lists or asking there.  Unless some Sweave user lurks on this list and
shares her or his wisdom.
