According to http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-OS-X "there may be a separate installer package, R-3.3.0-snowleopard.pkg". I'm not seeing any at http://r.research.att.com/. Has anyone heard if they'll keep supporting snowleopard?
Don't draw any conclusions from this; I think it just isn't available yet. Note that R-3.2.0 is not yet available for either Mac platform.
BTW, I had an exchange with Simon Urbanek and he said that indeed they plan to drop support for Snow Leopard with the release of R-3.3.0 in a year's time. 3.2.0 is still supported, although there is still not an official 3.2.0 binary for Snow Leopard on CRAN (I've asked for clarification on this); there is a binary of R-3.2.0-patched on http://r.research.att.com/ .
