Hi All: My apologies. Some days the brain kicks in more slowly than others. I was able to answer my own question. Since a binary is not on CRAN, I thought I would document what worked.
1. Get the needed frameworks from: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks Make certain you have GDAL, GEOS and PROJ installed. By default they are installed in /Library/Frameworks. 2. Download the source file from CRAN. 3. In a terminal, change directory to where the source file is located. 4. R CMD INSTALL sf_0.5-0.tar.gz --configure-args='-with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/2.1/unix/bin/gdal-config -with-geos-config=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Versions/3/unix/bin/geos-config' If your version of the GDAL framework is different, make the obvious change. Is they any way to just directly get a binary on CRAN, or only if they can build it on the CRAN machine?
