How? If you had used CRAN binaries all would be working.

Install R 2.8.1 from CRAN (full image, this includes Tcl/Tk), GTK+  
from http://R.urbanek.info/ (*) and you should be fine.

(*) - http://R.research.att.com/ is the canonical source, but this  
weekend it is down due to building maintenance, so please use http://R.urbanek.info 
  as a backup until the main site is up on Monday.

If you want to use MacPorts then you're entirely on your own and  
you'll have to compile R and all packages yourself (or get them via  
MacPorts). Experience has shown that cannot mix-and-match MacPorts and  
native builds, mostly because MacPorts are incomplete.
