Well, you have missed the point. R itself allows you to do
that: do read 'R Installation and Administration'.

For use as 'R' from a terminal, multiple CRAN distributions (of
3.x.y for different 'x') can easily be installed and used
together: that is ?4.3 of the manual.
Yes, I indeed missed this. Thanks much for the explanation!
One more question. I suppose if I install the various minor versions on
different disks (e.g. I want 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 as well), that would work
fine as well, and I don't even need pkgutil --forget? Or am I missing
something?
You can install in different locations. I have never tried using different 'volumes' (in Apple parlance), but AFAIK Apple treats them separately (with separate records of packages installed).
