The R package is a bit of a mess - and that is being polite! http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8274 was added to clean this up. I know others are working on sorting some issues out with R, most notably the fact the R .spkg includes another .spkg file, which gets built after R. I would suggest you take a close look on trac, see what others are doing with it (I know Leif is doing things), and upgrade the source based on changes by Leif and others.
