I don't know the specifics of this package, but generally the C code is called internally by R: it, however, requires compilation before R can "talk" to it. You wont need to learn C though.
Look at the link David suggested for a precompiled version, but it may be older than the development-version functionality discussed up thread. If you don't have access to a pre-compiled binary (the author may be willing to send one to you), it is possible to compile one yourself with not too much trouble. Theoretically, you won't have to touch the C code other than to pass it through the package building process, which is rather well documented. If the source is too "development"-y, this might be a little tricky, so I'd ask the author for a binary first.
