Yes, I've never seen that before either.  Being an R user myself, I'd  
be interested to hear your reasons for installing R from MacPorts,  
which is almost guaranteed to be inferior to the official binary  
distribution (and less easy to install).

I haven't tried MacPort's R myself, but I suspect that it's just a  
slightly adapted Unix build, whereas the R Core Team puts a lot of  
effort into compiling R for Mac OS X with the right tools and settings  
to get optimal performance and reliable operation on all current OS X  
platforms.

Just curious,
