Yes. Packages are first built or unpacked in a temporary directory and then moved to their "final resting place", assuming that yours has the needed permissions. This is all explained in the R Admin/Install document which is part of every distribution these days: On my machine it's here: http://localhost:30946/doc/manual/R-admin.html#Running-R
