This should have been sent to the R-SIG-Mac mailinglist.

If you look on CRAN for the packages Rmpfr and gmp you will see that both packages are not available in binary form for OS X El Capitan.  You'll have to wait or try to compile  gmp and mpfr relevant packages from source first before installing Rmpfr.
I don't know the reason for the non-availability.
