I'm having basically the same problem (at least to the extent that the  
error message on attempted loading is the same), but would add that  
rgl _was_ working with R 2.14.2 until I updated to the current version  
from rgl 0.87 in a failed effort at answering posting on  
StackOverflow. (I have tried reverting to rgl 0.87 without success.) I  
have had problems in th past related to difference in freetype and  
libpng This is, however, probably a Mac specific issue and should get  
posted to the Mac list rather than the general R help list. I am  
alternate-posting (correct term doubtful) this and do not think it  
appropriate to respond to further replies on R-help.

I generally run the Mac R GUI 64 bit and installed both from binary  
and source (with Xcode installed) using the Package Installer, and get  
the same error message at the point of loading. I get the following  
warnings during installation from source using teh Mac GUI Package  
Installer with a target of rgl 0.92.861 and with the version that was  
current as a couple of days ago 0.92.858 :
