It's version bump time again for R; they released 2.1.1 last week. The source can be had at http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.1.1.tar.gz It runs just fine on all of my x86 systems; I don't have anything else to test with. I recommend marking it ~x86 for now.
Please make the new version available in portage, it would be very helpful for us. Regards, Oliver
In CVS already.
