No, the migration of binaries for Windows for both 32 and 64 bit has led 
to rgdal being provided from the CRAN extras repository rather than on 
CRAN mirrors, because of the extensive external dependencies, see:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/ReadMe

On OSX one says:

setRepositories(ind=1:2)
install.packages("rgdal")

but I don't have access now to a Windows installation, so cannot check the 
incantation. If those interested could check, I'll summarise to the list.
