At one time I did attempt to install from that version, but I more  
recently followed your directions and installed from the CRAN 83-3  
version. When I go to the Package Manager dialog, the help file  
indicates that it is looking at rgl 83-3 (even if it won't load). On  
the other hand, the Package Installer still says I have 83-751.

Looking at the installation log I see this line in your installation:
Installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ 
library’

I do not have that directory. I instead have
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/Libraries   ... and most of  
the package information is in
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/Versions/2.8/library

In that library I do find version 83-751

One  other change that has appeared is that the icons on the PM pages  
are now blue squares with "?" in them.
