Comment(by faisal.moledina@…):

 This method works and results in a successful R build through MacPorts.
 However, if I now try to install packages within R, it always results in a
 fatal error

 {{{/opt/local/lib/R/bin/R: line 150: /opt/local/lib/R/etc/x86_64/ldpaths:
 No such file or directory}}}

 Somewhere in the script /opt/local/bin/R it sets the R_ARCH environment
 variable which then looks for ldpaths under an x86_64 folder in
 /opt/local/lib/R/etc, a directory that doesn't exist. What exists is what
 I presume would be the contents of the x86_64 directory straight in that
 etc directory one level up. I'm only posting that here because I'm
 wondering if it's relevant to the error that came up during the original
 build. Thoughts?
