Please look at the labcurve function in the Hmisc package.  Here is one line
from the documentation of ?labcurve
  For automatic positioning of labels or keys, a curve is labeled at a point
that
  is maximally separated from all of the other curves.
As you, the documentation uses the same words you do.

If you don't have it yet:

install.packages("Hmisc")
library("Hmisc")
?labcurve
