Some of the Quantian talks (eg at Usenix or DSC) show examples about how to
do this -- you could start there. These are e.g. at
   http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presentations.html

That said, Quantian is 'just' a working collection of all the methods, you
still need to read on, say, snow or Rmpi to understand how to best take
advantage of them.  This is a big and complex topic -- and I will be giving a
three hour tutorial introduction to 'high performance computing with R' at
Use R in Dortmund next month that covers this in more detail than this email
could.    

But in short: snow is probably your best best.
