You can bind "C-r" in the keymap `term-raw-map' to the function: 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-key term-raw-map (kbd "C-r") (lambda () (interactive)
                                       (if (get-buffer  "*Open Recent*")
                                           (kill-buffer "*Open Recent*"))
                                       (recentf-open-files)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When `term-char-mode' is on, `term-raw-map' is activated as the local
map of the term buffer.
