sure, as soon as i find out how. in the past, the worst thing was to find 
documentation on the various mac package types, and then to figure out how to 
include a proper script in the automatic MacPorts building process. this is 
even a little more complex, as the portfile itself doesn't know about the R 
version it's building against, so this would need to be resolved as well. and 
it would only work for bundles, not if you install the binary subport from 
source (well, it wouldn't build, of course ;-)).

would a check (for the mere existence of the very expected R binary file) in 
RKWard's startup sequence perhaps be a better place for this? at least it 
would also grant us with an informative error message if the problem occurs 
later, like after an incompatible R upgrade.
