I have a number of machines in a home LAN that share /usr/local where I have all but a few R-packages that are automatically installed by the OS package-mangagement system (by installing the meta package r-recommended). I have the following snippet in my .Rprofile lib.loc = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/" so whenever a package is installed, all machines have access to it. This will of course not work if the machines are running different OS:es, so that is not irrelevant.
