"> You don't actually need to install bioconductor packages from source  "

Can Simon Urbanek weigh in on this?  
I've been keeping an eye on R-SIG-Mac and have been seeing
repeated references in the last few weeks about
installing from source for 64-bit R.

e.g.:

If you are doing 64bit computing you need 
to install from source.

PS: When you are using the Package Installer, make sure you select 
"CRAN (sources)"!
