Your distinction makes no sense to me. 

"Package" in the context of R is a set of useful related functions usable within R. There is no "R" package in this sense. 

"Package" is also sometimes used to refer to installable software. The link I pointed you to has just such an item, specifically for MacOSX.

So... can you clarify what you really mean?
