pintersect() seems like the right approach.
Use coverage() to normalize the subject GRanges, then tapply to add
the
bases covered:

> gr <- GRanges(seqnames=sample(c("a","b"),100,repl=TRUE),
+ IRanges(start=sample(100000,100),width=1000))
> gr2 <- GRanges(seqnames=sample(c("a","b"),100,repl=TRUE),
+ IRanges(start=sample(100000,100),width=1000))
> cover2.gr <- subset( as( coverage(gr2)>0, "GRanges"), score)
> seqinfocover2.gr) <- seqinfo(gr2)
> hits <- findOverlaps(gr,cover2.gr)
> gr.over <-
pintersect(gr[queryHits(hits)],cover2.gr[subjectHits(hits)])
> gr.counts <- tapply(gr.over,queryHits(hits),FUN=function(x)
sum(width(x)))
> gr$overlap<- 0
> gr$overlap[as.numeric(names(gr.counts))]<- unname(gr.counts)
> gr
