One way around is something like this:
edd@max:~$ tail -5 .R/check.Renviron
# edd Apr 2003 Allow local install in /usr/local, also add a directory for
# Debian packaged CRAN packages, and finally the default dir
# edd Jul 2007 Now use R_LIBS_SITE, not R_LIBS
R_LIBS_SITE=${R_LIBS_SITE-'/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library'}
edd@max:~$
The file check.Renviron sets up R environment variables just for R CMD
check. [ And IIRC there is also build.Renviron ]

So you could have a script setting the check.Renviron up alongside the
build-up and later tear-down of you test setup.
Would be good to publish such a set of scripts. I hacked up something much
smaller than that and much more ad-hoc too to test the reverse depends of one
of my package before uploading it.
