I once knew the answer to this, but can't find where I found it.

Say I have a vignette that I don't want R to automatically rebuild,
perhaps it uses some data I can't share or takes too long to run or
whatever.  Say it is mypackage/vignettes/charlie.Rnw

It can create the pdf from an R session that actually has the data,
place that result in inst/doc/charlie.pdf, then run
      R CMD build --no-vignettes mypackage

So far so good.  But then when I do R CMD INSTALL mypackage.tar.gz the
intall process tries to run Sweave, resulting in a failure.   How do I
get it to skip the Sweave call?

I think this happens when you R CMD build, not when you INSTALL.

Writing R Extensions tells us:
"The ‘BuildVignettes’ logical field can be set to a false value to stop R CMD build from attempting to rebuild the vignettes, as well as preventing R CMD check from testing this. This should only be used exceptionally, for example if the PDFs need large figures which are not part of the package sources."

Best,
