I just built R-devel from source on OS X (Tiger), using the subversion sources. Running ./tools/rsync-recommended didn't download rcompgen. I checked http://cran.r-project/src/contrib/2.7.0/Recommended and indeed, this package is not there. If I try to install using install.packages I get
> install.packages("rcompgen", type="source")
