Alternatively, compose latex or html tables in R and then have the source
code block :results output latex or :results output html
That should wrap the output in #+BEGIN_LATEX ... #+END_LATEX, which org
will export directly to LaTeX, or #+BEGIN_HTML ... #+END_HTML, which org
will export directly to HTML.
