Clearly I didn't read closely enough.  Thanks for the reminder.  The 
build and check completed successfully as a fully non-root build  with 
this sequence:

Compile f2c and libf2c and put f2c, f2c.h and libf2c.a in $HOME/f2c.  
Run ranlib on libf2c.a

mkdir $HOME/f2c

mkdir ~/Rinstall
mv R-1.9.1.tgz Rinstall/

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/f2c  (So that configure can find the f2c executable)
export LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/f2c/
export CPPFLAGS=-I$HOME/f2c/

./configure --prefix=$HOME/Rinstall/  --with-blas='-framework vecLib' 
--with-lapack

make
make check
make install

are all successful.

Built in this way it has no problems with remote login on OS X.  As I 
said I haven't found problems with remote log-in at at with 1.9.1

Thanks for the help everyone.
