Try the textplot function in the gplots package:

nf <- layout(matrix(1:2), height = lcm(12))
par(mar = c(2, 8, 2, 2))
barplot(prop.table(example.table, 1), beside = TRUE)
textplot(round(prop.table(example.table, 1), 2), halign = 'left',
         mar = c(0,0,0,0), show.colnames = FALSE, cex = 2,
         cmar = 5)
