Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Add SystemRequirements of imported package in description file?

AFAIK, no, though if the upstream package cannot (or won't) be implemented without that system requirement and it really is a requirement for this package then you might want to indicate "libzzz via Package X" just to be clear for users. If it isn't a requirement for most of your functionality then you may want to use Suggests to alleviate the problem.
