I suspect you'll need to build GDAL for yourself and then build rgdal on top of that, since rgdal depends upon a pre-installation of GDAL. The gdal-dev list is the appropriate place for discussing the first step.
Colleagues have succesfully built 64-bit Windows GDAL from the 1.6.0 release using extra binaries (HDF4/5, NetCDF, etc.) from here: http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx There are notes on build rgdal for Windows here, but I've not done it myself for a while: file.show(system.file("README.windows", package="rgdal")) I am keen to try this for myself, but it will not be for a while yet.
