I think some detective work is in order:

Can you do 

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R RHOME

? 

and does that directory have library/base looking like a base package?
Are permissions etc. alright? 

I'm not a Mac person, but can you do something like "strace" on the
R binary and see what file it is trying to open and what its "dying
words" are?
