Right. This is almost certyainly the easiest way, but may constrain your R 
version anmd rgdal version to the latest one built.

Other details are given on the Rgeo website:

This is about to be moved to a new location, but will continue to be 
reached through http://www.r-project.org/Rgeo. If others would like to add 
their experience to the spatial themes in the R wiki, that would be great. 
Friendly suggestions to Simon Urbanek to try to get rgdal built for OSX 
would also be welcome - I don't have day-to-day access to an OSX system 
that I can hack on (i.e. mess up GDAL), so working out how to do this is 
rather for someone who does, and who could feed Simon with proj4 and GDAL 
binaries for target binary platforms. Here Windows is easier to handle, 
because only 32-bit Windows on Intel needs to be accommodated, and 
operating system version is not a problem.
