Mmmh, isn't 10.6 the OS version for Snow Leopard? What output
is getOption("pkgType") giving you?
I suspect it is "mac.binary.leopard", which means that you are
installing the binaries we are producing for OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Those binaries are currently built on pelham (Mac OS X Leopard
(10.5.8)):
   http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.5/bioc-LATEST/pelham-index.html
and some of them are apparently not compatible with Snow Leopard.

The good news is that we have plans to start building binaries for
Snow Leopard in the near future (we recently purchased new hardware
for this).

Yep. Installing from source will solve the problem in the mean time.
