In your Makefile, you define PATCH_SITES, but you do not list any 
PATCHFILES.  Can I remove PATCH_SITES, or should there be some 
PATCHFILES added?

PATCH_SITES can go...
The previous version of the port had patches, but this one does not.

Instead of hardcoding this, it would be better to change the 2nd
last line to something like

R_PAPERSIZE=PAPERSIZETOKEN

And then add something into the port Makefile to substitute
${PAPERSIZE} at port configure-time for PAPERSIZETOKEN.

Mechanisms to help with this will be added to bsd.port.mk
sometime before 3.0-RELEASE (yes, I swear it!!), but the above is
probably the quick fix.

Commited, thanks.  There is one major change, suggested by Tim 
Vanderhoek.  Setting PAPERSIZE to "a4" or "letter" during build will 
configure for the appropriate paper size.  If you know this software 
well enough to produce printed output, could you please confirm that 
it works?

Here is a script that produces a sine wave ... just copy it into the
text window and print the file test.ps. Answer n to the question asked
by q.

    Maurice Castro

postscript(file="test.ps")
x <- c(1:314 * 0.1)
y <- sin(x)
plot(x,y,type="l")
x11()
q()
