The R2s depend on the coefficient estimates but not on the estimated 
variance-covariance matrix.  It looks like you are using xtreg,fe and areg 
to estimate the same model, and so the coefficients reported by the two 
estimators should be the same.  If they are, then you can simply use the 
R2s reported by xtreg,fe.

Cheers,
Mark
