It is. Frameworks go in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks by default.

I would need to know what version and my recent experience with libiconv has shown my significant limitations in being able to access such information. I have been led to understand that MacPorts does not maintain an up-to-date version, so am not likely to go that route.

The R maintainer recently submitted patches to update the R port to 3.0.0, but I've been sitting on the ticket. I will commit the changes sometime today.
