On Cran it indicates that the package is not available on MAC (OSX 10.5.8)
Is that the whole story?
Is it a situation that will change or am I missing something. I've left a
similar Q on the Mac Sig, but havent  got any feedback

It is always possible to use the instructions on the CRAN page under SystemRequirements: - that is install the external dependencies, for example using Kyngchaos' frameworks, and install from source, or from an OSX binary rgdal package at the same site. This probably gives a larger set of drivers.

For those who prefer a Leopard-style binary with the same minimal set of drivers that we have on CRAN for Win32 and Win64: I can with pleasure thank Brian Ripley for making both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel versions available on CRAN extras - on OSX use:

setRepositories(ind=1:2)
install.packages('rgdal')

Please report back on whether this advice was helpful.
