Usually, OSX users say setRepositories(ind=1:2) to install from CRAN and 
CRAN extras, where OSX binaries for R 2.13 are provided by Prof. Brian 
Ripley. The direct URL is:

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/

This has static GDAL and standard drivers. Kyngchaos now also has an R 
2.13 binary, which depends on the frameworks also provided there - it was 
added recently at user request, and provides a larger number of drivers.
