We are left to guess that you are using an Intel build of R under emulation, but homebrew does have (a rather broken) arm64 build of R 4.0.3: we do not support arm64 builds on R < 4.1.0.  My understanding is that in the CRAN release of R 4.0.3 only the X11() device and parts of Tk interact with XQuartz, although other parts may in other builds.
