That's only a small fraction, it's not many more than the failures for the regular build.

Some 3rd party library dependencies are not currently available on the Mavericks build machine since they need to be rebuilt for 10.9. I'll try to build those in the near future so the number should go down over time. Given the fairly recent introduction of the Mavericks build, there are still things to iron out. People that don't want to be living on the edge can use the regular build instead.

Cheers,
Simon

FWIW there's available.packages() that does the job of pulling what you need.
