Confirmed: Sweave.sty is installed in that location. I've tried
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-2.11.1.pkg in two MacPro boxes
running Leopard and Snow Leopard.

OK! we'll be pending on this change! With the new LyX2.0.0 (now in
alpha5 stage) release R, code chunks (R code in a LaTeX document) will 
be able to be used out of the box with any document class
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20). Provided R is installed, of course!

Right now, the problem is that Sweave.sty is not available for LyX
without "human" intervention. I'm not skilled enough as for
understanding what the reorganization of the directory where Sweave.sty
is installed does mean, but I will forward this message to 
lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org where people is discussing the best way of 
making Sweave.sty provided by R "visible" to LyX.

Greetings!
