You can access mzscheme and other PLT languages and libraries from r5rs 
modules by using '#%require'. For example,

#lang r5rs
(#%require (only mzscheme
		 make-hash-table hash-table-put! hash-table-get))
(define tbl (make-hash-table))
...

Search the PLT help for "r5rs" and you should find several relevant 
sections. One of the pages, in the Guide, also has a link to R5RS (the 
report) itself.
