In more detail:

 x11(display=":0")

should work, or Sys.putenv("DISPLAY"=":0") followed by just x11().  In
the normal Unix situation, if you have X running then any terminal window will
have been started from X and so will know about the display.  Under Aqua
this isn't true. The RAqua GUI just assumes that if you want an x11()
window you must have an X server running, but that's in the GUI code.
