That isn't hard to do with Sweave.

Within you if branch, you can have your code write out any markup you
choose (including \section). For figures, I would suggest writing the
image file "manually" (i.e with the code chunk option fig = FALSE) and
also write out the \includegraphics statements too.

With odfWeave, it is more difficult. Adding sections isn't obvious to
me, although odfCat might be able to do it. Figures are more
problematic. The way odfWeave works right now, whenever you use fig =
TRUE in the chunk, odfWeave sets up the figure environment in the
document (whether you produce an actual image or not). My recollection
was that there wasn't any way around this, but it's been a thorn in my
side for a while.

I suggest using LaTeX in the short term to do this.
