I just figured it out:

> contrib.url(contrib.url("http://cran.r-project.org"))
[1] "http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.6/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.6"
> contrib.url("http://cran.r-project.org", type="source")
[1] "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib"

Oops - thanks for the help.
