The graph package is available:

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/graph.html


...but maybe not installed on the CRAN build machine.

All of this would make more sense if the OP was using the Mavericks build of R because we don't yet have BioC binary packages for that, but his original sessionInfo() showed that he was using the Snow Leopard build.

I think they can. graph is in igraph's Suggests. If CRAN packages could not depend on BioC packages, I would imagine that igraph would be removed from CRAN until it got rid of that dependency.
