Why do you suspect so?  rgdal does not call the GDAL nor PROJ4 nor 
SQLite3 programs.  If you dynamically link, you may need their library 
directories on the dylib search path (but you can statically link).

I think the rest of us will need to wait a few decades to see R13 (and 
the R posting guide asks you to be accurate about versions).  For R 
2.13.0 there is a statically linked binary of rgdal on CRAN extras, 
and you can ask about it on the appropriate list, r-sig-geo.

Corrupt package installation.
