Sure. But such messages are already produced in current
versions of R, .. at least they are there in the package checking
source, see
format.check_package_depends() in
src/library/tools/R/QC.R
which has e.g.,
if(length(bad <- x$suggests_but_not_installed) > 1L) {
c(gettext("Packages suggested but not available for checking:"),
....
and similar for 'Enhances' in lieu of 'Suggests'.
If Dario really uses R 2.13.0 (or newer),
and he gets the above error message for a package that is not
required but only suggested,
I think we'd need a clear, ideally simple,
reproducible example, here.
