It fails "make check". CRAN is not distributing binaries of packages that fail checks since it may deliver incorrect results. You can still install it from sources install.packages("lme4",type='source') if you want to use it anyway (see R for Mac FAQ for the necessary tools).

They will be available when lme4 is fixed to pass the checks. Given that the issue is there for over a year I would not hold my breath.
