It says "package build" which means there are the contributed CRAN 
packages (roughly 1800 of them).
Not sure which libraries you have seen. We generally do not publish any 
library directories on CRAN (hence I suspect you are confusing libraries 
and packages).

The R for MacOS binaries are available from
CRAN-mirror/bin/macosx/

which has a link to the Leopard binary (ít says "This binary was tested 
on both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).") at
CRAN-mirror/bin/macosx/R-2.9.0.dmg

Best,
Uwe Ligges
