Mick, you're using Homebrew's gfortran, so you're pretty much on your own, because that's not what CRAN R was compiled with so it won't work. Since Homebrew messes with /usr/local (unless you tell it not to and install is elsewhere - which is a actually a good idea) it may be easier to just completely move it aside and just install the CRAN complier from http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2
The other alternative is to use Homebrew entirely, including R, but then you have to install all packages from sources and/or through Homebrew. You can't mix CRAN and Homebrew because CRAN uses native libraries while Homebrew uses its own (incompatible) world.
