Just took another look in my installation call, I made some time ago.
What I did to get it work on FreeBSD was:


R CMD INSTALL rjags_4-4.tar.gz --configure-args='CPPFLAGS="-fPIC"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -ljags"
--with-jags-include=/usr/local/include/JAGS --with-jags-lib=/usr/local/lib'


So I used --configure-args, LDFLAGS, --with-jags-inlcue and
--with-jags-lib in my installation procedure. Perhaps it is worth
another try?
