You should definitely use Apple's compiler, stock GNU gcc is NOT the same as Apple, because there are many features that Apple folks have added. You should check out the Apple branch from GNU.
It might not be such a good idea to be too dependent on Apple's gcc. There are compilers from IBM and Intel that people may at some time be interested in using.
You're free to, but then you should know what you're doing and find out the right flags for your compiler ;). As of R-devel configure will automatically use vecLib if the compiler supports -framework and vecLib is present, so you don't need to supply any flags unless you have an esoteric compiler.
