Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…):

 The real solution is to, like fink, settle on some common directory
 outside of ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources
 where we want the R packages to installed and create the appropriate site-
 library symlink in
 ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources. This is
 easily demonstrated with the current R package...

 and the proper fix proven with...

 {{{
 sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib/R/library
 cd /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/
 ln -s /opt/local/lib/R/library site-library
 }}}

 which then causes R to exhibit the desired behavior of...
