As the package page on CRAN

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgdal/index.html

says:

rgdal binaries for OSX are available from the CRAN (extras) repository

which you access by setting:

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

These are built with the same basic set of drivers as the CRAN Windows 
binaries, and only support Intel architectures.

There is advice on installing rgdal on OSX using Kyngchaos frameworks on:

http://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-rgdal-on-mac-os-x-2/

and on the rgdal CRAN page under system requirements; Kyngchaos also has 
binary package builds using the frameworks; this has some experience too:

Hope this helps,
