Not for your obsolete version of R. The current version has
Depends: R (>= 2.5.1), stats, methods, utils, lattice
as you can see at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/Matrix.html
I suggest you update your R (as did the posting guide), but if you don't
want to do that you can look on the CRAN Archive at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/M/
to find an older version you can install by 'R CMD INSTALL'.
