Yes, that sounds like a problem with the BioC builds (libintl.3.dylib  
is really strange - we use libintl.8.dylib as a part of optional Gtk  
on CRAN, but never libintl3.dylib..). I didn't test BioC builds ever  
since we stopped building it on CRAN, but I have heard complains about  
their binaries linking various stuff from /usr/local, so I'd suggest  
to file a bug report with them (BTW: Xcode should not be required from  
binary installs).

Cheers,
