You can always get by via something like
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args=XXX -l pkg.Rcheck pkg
R CMD check --install=skip pkg
The reason why we don't have a way of specifying arguments to install
when checking is mostly to be defensive about possible quoting issues
when passing arguments from the command line via Perl to the Shell.
