Yes.  You must install pgfSweave from source to get the command line interface.
install.packages("pgfSweave",type="source")

Yes you can increase the capacity and no you fortunately dont need to
recompile. From the command above, I am assuming you are using TexLive
on Max or Linux.  In that case, edit the file

/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf.cnf

and add the line

main_memory = 10000000

Increase it further if necessary.
