I am not sure how rkward searches for R binary, still there are some things
you could try out:

If you are using the 0.5.0 version (ie for KDE4) then there are these cmake
variables,
-DR_EXECUTABLE:   
   path to the R executable. You may want to set this, if you have multiple
versions of R installed, or R is not in your path. Example
-DR_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/R
-DR_HOME
    R home directory. Almost certainly this option is not needed.
-DR_INCLUDE
    path to R include files. Almost certainly this option is not needed.

If you are using 0.4.9 version (ie for KDE3) then try setting these configure
variables:
  --with-r-home=DIR       specify location of R_HOME directory            
  --with-r-includes=DIR   specify location of R include files             

As you must've already seen, there is no "--with-r-executable" here. If r-home
does not work, then you may need to try and play around by switching the actual
R binaries in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin  to their names (eg R2.7, R2.8) and
then keep the default as a symlink to R2.8 and then compile rkward.

Warning: the 'released" versions of rkward do not play well with R 2.8.x, so
you'll need to get the rkward from svn, which can be either for the KDE3/KDE4.
