You have the args for .Fortran wrong. Try:
> fargs <- structure(list("dqrls", qr = structure(c(1, 1, 1, 1,
1, 1, 1,
+ 1, 1, 1, 4.17, 5.58, 5.18, 6.11, 4.5, 4.61, 5.17, 4.53, 5.33,
+ 5.14, 2.3, 1.7, 1.3, 1.7, 1.7, 1.6, 1, 1.7, 1.7, 1.7), .Dim = c(10L,
+ 3L)), n = 10L, p = 3L, y = c(4.81, 4.17, 4.41, 3.59, 5.87, 3.83,
+ 6.03, 4.89, 4.32, 4.69), ny = 1L, tol = 1e-11, coefficients = c(0,
+ 0, 0), residuals = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), effects = c(0,
+ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), rank = 0L, pivot = 1:3, qraux = c(0,
+ 0, 0), work = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), PACKAGE = "base"), .Names =
c("",
+ "qr", "n", "p", "y", "ny",
"tol", "coefficients", "residuals",
+ "effects", "rank", "pivot", "qraux",
"work", "PACKAGE"))> do.call(.Fortran,fargs)$coef

TIP: It often helps to use something like
debug(function.calling.Fortran)
and then step thru the function till the call you want to study is
invoked. Then inspect the inputs one-by-one and tinker with them and
recall the function or save them via
dput( list(...) , file="fargs" )
so you can later invoke the function as above.
