Okay, now you're getting a different error than you described before. 
This one I think you can fix:  you need Freetype, and rgl needs to be 
able to find it when you do the install.  Normally it does that using 
the freetype-config utility, but you're not finding that:

I thought (from online readings) that Freetype should be available in a 
standard OSX install, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you.  You 
can disable the Cocoa (native) support by configuring with the configure 
option

install.packages("rgl", ..., configure.args="--disable-cocoa")

and then you should be able to get the install to complete, but it might 
be better to figure out why freetype-config isn't working for you.
