Or you can just

(setenv "R_LIBS" (format "%s/Library/R/library" (getenv "HOME")))

in your .emacs. You can also set your DISPLAY variable there as well.  
I'm sure if you were VERY enterprising you could write some elisp  
that would snarf your .profile, parse it and then run the elisp  
equivalents.
