Not really. You have not provided the code you used to do the install, nor the name of the repository, not the versions for any of the packages   except rgl). There was a thread on this forum earlier this month with John Fox as the original poster, and I got the idea that he figured out how to get Rcmdr to install on Mavericks. At this point I'm not using Mavericks or Rcmdr, so I'm going to bow out from the conversation.

(I can say that you really _ought_ to provide more specifics if you want help.)
