I did get MKL working with R via the following trick:

1) export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/intel/intel-mkl-9.0.018/lib/em64t

2) then configure with: 
"--with-blas=-L/opt/intel/intel-mkl-9.0.018/lib/em64t/ -lmkl -lguide 
-lpthread"

Back then I used MKL version 9.0.018. I don't know if this still works 
with more recent MKL or R.

Best,
