Today, I downloaded the most recent binary for R.app. I'm running on
MacOSX 10.4.11.
Downloading packages fail. I've tried it at the command line and
using the "Packages & Data" menu. In both cases, trying to
downloaded the "emdbook" binary, I get the following error.

This is my package, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the package (the check summary on CRAN says it's OK). Does this happen with all packages? Have you tried a different mirror? (123 K seems like a reasonable size for this package). On the other hand, the specific error message says the problem is that R can't find the "tar" command -- is it in your path?
