No, it's simply disabled. Technically speaking the 64-bit Quartz is a  
big and new change (it's a complete re-write of the Quartz device,  
hence aka Quartz II), so for QC reasons it cannot go to R 2.6.x. Also  
it's untested with the old GUI (there is a new Leopard GUI in the  
works that uses a different approach), so I don't feel comfortable  
putting it in the release. However, it's trivial to back-port if you  
desire so since the code didn't change, but then you may as well just  
pick R-devel.

It is, but you're using the same configure script ;).

My current Leopard flags are as simple as setting r_arch and adding - 
arch x86_64 to the compilers. BTW: there will be at least an  
unofficial Leopard nightly build soon (I'm just shuffling my machines  
to have one for the Tiger builds and one for the Leopard builds).
