Um... I'm not sure what Rob can do here - basically you have two  
options:
1) use R from CRAN and switch to gcc3 and g77
or
2) make the package Fortran95 compliant

As of 1)
The R binary on CRAN was built on Panther using gcc3, so you need to  
switch your Tiger tools to use gcc3 and g77. You can do that as follows:
a) in Terminal run:
sudo gcc_select 3.3
b) get g77 from HPC pages ( http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ ) and install it
Now you should be able to compile the package.
One you're done, you can switch back to gcc 4 if desired with sudo  
gcc_select 4.0

As of 2)
Well, I'm not a Fortran programmer, either, so I can't help you with  
that one. You may ask some Fortran-savvy folks for help.

Cheers,
Simon
