Yay, nice catch! 

This allows me to build an rgl that loads in R.app:

tar xvfz rgl_0.92.880.tar.gz 
rm `find rgl -name \*.o`
R64 CMD INSTALL --configure-args=--with-gl-libs=/usr/X11/lib rgl

I still have some issues with the 32 bit version, but I believe those are unrelated. (MacPorts seems to be interfering....)
