I assume you are running MacOS X 10.4?

The Mac version of R does not require X11 or Tcl/TK since it uses a
separate GUI interface developed exclusively for the Mac using native
widgets and a quartz based graphing mechanism.

Try downloading the following binary installer which includes the gui
interface:
