Jack, it's been a few years since I last used R, but even then it already had sufficient support for native graphics. In fact, I had to trick it into using Tk/X11 (because that worked better for me). So what's that requirement on X11 of those packages? And maybe more to the point: CRAN has its own packaging scheme as far as I remember (incl. a package manager directly available through the R gui); is it really useful to encumber MacPorts with "over 500 cran modules" ?
