Setting memory limits was something that was done under OS 9- with OS X apps get as much memory as they request as long as free space is available. Also, when R runs out of memory, you usually see errors like: Cannot allocate vector of size X Some details may help pin this problem down: what were you doing when you got this error? Is it repeatable? Is it an error with a base R routine or with something provided by a package? If so, what version? Providing these details will help the people on this list understand what your problem is and suggest solutions.
