Comment(by kjell.konis@…):

 Maintainer here. Hmmm. This is the second time someone has reported a
 failure while R is building its recommended packages. Since I have never
 been able to reproduce this, the best I can do is add a variant for the
 recommended packages. The attached Portfile-R.diff adds a recommended
 variant to control whether the R port builds the recommended packages
 during installation (these packages can always be added later using the
 install.packages function in R). The default is to build the recommended
 packages during installation. If this borks then install the port using
 the command

   port install R -recommended

 and add the packages manually.
